Social entrepreneurs John Gardner and Marc Freedman founded Civic Ventures in the late 1990s as a think tank and an incubator, generating ideas and inventing programs to help society achieve the greatest return on experience. Civic Ventures promotes redefining the second half of life as a source of social and individual renewal. Through research, publishing, conferences, and media outreach, Civic Ventures reports on the growth of the experience movement. Through programs and consulting, Civic Ventures brings together older adults with a passion for service and helps stimulate opportunities for using their talents to advance the greater good helping America realize an experience dividend.
