You definitely don’t need to be a Third Act volunteer to be welcome to join any of our events. We do ask that you respect the idea that these events are about finding hope and joy in a challenging world. And, that most of the attendees are active volunteers trying, as best they can, to address the goals and objectives of ThirdAct.org.
‘Ikigai’ is a Japanese concept that combines the terms ‘iki’ (‘alive’ or ‘life’) with and ‘gai’ (‘benefit’ or ‘worth’). Third Act volunteers have come together around the mission of Third Act, and what that work means to our communities and our kids – now and in the future. That sense of ikigai binds us together. It’s also the reason we’re refired, not retired.
As rational observers of the world who’ve been around the block a few times, we aren’t naïve about our work. Between reading the news and talking to the people around us, it’s not hard to find reasons to be less than optimistic. Yet, we share hope. If we didn’t, we wouldn’t be doing what we do.
