💼 Employer Spotlight: When Purpose Meets Destiny (AARP Article)

FROM THE ARTICLE.

This nonprofit is helping older adults return to work

By Heather Tinsley-Fix, AARP. Published November 14, 2025.

After four decades in the staffing industry, seasoned entrepreneur and changemaker Wanda Wallace embarked on a bold new chapter in 2023. She founded When Purpose Meets Destiny (WPMD), a nonprofit with a mission to tackle age discrimination, empower older adults to reenter the workforce and ensure financial security for workers navigating the latter stages of their careers. At age 63, Wallace understands firsthand the value and challenges of working later in life — and she is determined to ensure that others have the opportunity to do so with dignity and purpose.

Her nonprofit’s name reflects its guiding philosophy: Every person has something to contribute, no matter their age, and that aligning one’s skills and values with meaningful work can lead to a deeper sense of fulfillment.
