Our difference

Pathways of engagement

There are many financial planning and elder service resources, but Indianapolis lacked a comprehensive, supportive ecosystem for Active Agers.

Indy Encore's goal is to provide pathways of engagement for those 50+ to remain active by being a connector, convener, curator, and catalyst. Active Agers see this life stage defined by purpose, not age, and are ready to be viewed as community assets.
