Programs for Individuals

PSRC’s Engaged Retirement Programs are about lifestyle in retirement, not about financial planning. Financial planning is the means to the end, not the end, which is a rewarding, satisfying next stage of life. Next Step offers many programs for individuals interested in planning their retirement, starting an encore career or finding re-employment. Look under these headings in the left menu to see what is being offered.
