Still Working
People Everywhere Are Working for the Greater Good in the Second Half of Life

The Still WorkingTM documentary project profiles people working for the greater good in the second half of life.

In their own words, people share stories of the work they do, why they do it, the challenges they've faced along the way, and how they planned for this new chapter. The initiative is an attempt to create role models where few exist for the new generation of aging boomers, and to develop a richer understanding of work in the post-midlife years.

We have interviewed 120 people from across the country who have found engagement through work – paid or unpaid – that has a lasting impact for themselves and their community.
