The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) helps adults 55+ gain work experience and job skills through paid training in community service roles. Funded by the U.S. Department of Labor, it supports older adults in finding lasting jobs and financial stability, promoting a happy and healthy life.
SCSEP participants gain work experience in various community service activities at non-profit and public facilities, including schools, hospitals, day-care centers, and senior centers. The program provides over 40 million community service hours to public and non-profit agencies, allowing them to enhance and provide needed services. Participants work an average of 20 hours a week.
