'Yes, I will spend the livelong day
With Nature in this month of May;
And sit beneath the trees, and share
My bread with birds whose homes are there…'

--W.H. Davies

A growing number of retired entrepreneurs are finding unexpected fulfillment in soup kitchens, classrooms, nonprofit boards and grassroots missions. Giving back isn’t just noble — it’s also deeply satisfying and surprisingly energizing.

If you're feeling restless when you retire, maybe it's time to hang up the clubs and vacations for a bit and ask a new question: Where can I make a difference today?
