SUMMARY: The senior community service employment program aims to help older job seekers find employment opportunities. It started in 1965 and is funded by both federal and state governments. Participants must be at least 55 years old, have an annual income below $119,000, and be unemployed. They are assigned to work at nonprofit agencies or government offices for on-the-job training, with the hope of being hired part-time or full-time after a year. Those interested can contact the program via phone to learn more and see if they qualify. Self-fulfillment and giving back are key motivators for participants in this program.

The Senior Community Service Employment Program works to bring out the best in senior citizens.
