Leadership Fairfax and Volunteer Fairfax seek retirees who want to move their lives from "success to significance." To help people recognize their potential in the second half of their lives we have designed a transition training for high-level volunteering and community engagement. This program empowers you to look at who you are in relation to your community-at-large, and encourages you to explore opportunities for civic awareness, community action, and volunteer connections. LLP is based on the belief that retirees can offer a wealth of experience, leadership, and vitality to your communities while enriching your own lives.
LLP is a partnership between Leadership Fairfax and Volunteer Fairfax, supported by the Positive Aging Coalition, George Mason University, Fairfax County Neighborhood and Community Services, and Area Agency on Aging.
