The program provides over 40 million community service hours to public and non-profit agencies, allowing them to enhance and provide needed services. SCSEP participants gain work experience in a variety of community service activities at non-profit and public facilities, including schools, hospitals, day-care centers, and senior centers.
Participants also have access to employment assistance through American Job Centers. Authorized by the Older Americans Act, the program provides training for low-income, unemployed seniors.
