We have a world-class database of experiences powered by our data-driven recommendation system and personalized by our Act II consultants. Our team reviews and hand-picks experiences to provide a fresh perspective on how you can leverage your skills and expand your horizons. All you have to do is say yes.
Spend less time looking and more time doing.
Based on experiential learning theory, our process takes you through a cycle of reflecting and acting on experiences. We know your time is valuable, so we want you to spend more time doing what you love. Let us take care of the details.
How it works
Step 1
Reflect
Take a short quiz to help us learn about your interests, skills, and the impact you’d like to make in the world.
Step 2
Select
Receive five personalized recommendations of activities, events, and organizations that fit your interests each month, and select what you want to try out.
Step 3
Connect
We connect you with an activity, event, organization, or Act II community member.
Step 4
Act
Give it a go! Our mantra is to prototype everything, and we believe there’s no better way to figure out what you want to do in your next act than to just try it out.
Step 5
Debrief
Debrief with us! How was your experience? What would you like to do more or less of? We’ll update your profile and send you your next set of recommendations to help you double down on an interest, or pivot when you want to try something new!
After a successful career in finance, Janak was ready to use his skills for something more meaningful, but wasn’t sure where he could add value. We connected him with a volunteer opportunity with his local IRS Tax Volunteer program, where he’s now helping senior citizens in his community prepare their tax returns.

Nick K.
private equity firm founder
After a long career in finance, Nick was ready for a fresh start and a little help on taking a leap of faith into something new. He told us that he loved building toys when his kids were growing up, so we connected him with local maker spaces to help him reignite this passion. He dreams one day of owning his own community maker space.

Melissa D.
Former Tech CMO
Of all the work she had done in her marketing career, Melissa was most passionate about writing. She wanted to pursue this further in her Act II, so we connected her with a group of graduate students working on their own storytelling chops. What started as office hours has developed into a new community that she hadn’t yet considered!
Given your passion for writing and storytelling, we think you could hit it off with these graduate students!

Wanda K.
Former Healthcare Executive
Wanda spent most of her career in healthcare, but she didn’t want her Act II to be focused on just one thing like her Act I. After learning of her passion for fashion and desire to give back, we recommended Dress for Success - and she loved it! Looking for more, Wanda is ready to try experiences exploring her other interests and diversify her Act II portfolio.
