The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is a community service and work-based job training program for older Americans. Authorized by the Older Americans Act, the program provides training for low-income, unemployed seniors. Participants also have access to employment assistance through American Job Centers.
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. 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 and are paid the highest of federal, state or local minimum wage. This training serves as a bridge to unsubsidized employment opportunities for participants.
Participants must be at least 55, unemployed, and have a family income of no more than 125% of the federal poverty level. Enrollment priority is given to veterans and qualified spouses, then to individuals who are over 65, have a disability, have low literacy skills or limited English proficiency, reside in a rural area, are homeless or at risk of homelessness, have low employment prospects, or have failed to find employment after using services through the American Job Center system.
SCSEP grantees include state agencies and 19 national non-profit organizations. For more information on SCSEP programs in your area, use CareerOneStop's Older Worker Program Finder or call the toll-free help line at 1-877-US2-JOBS (1-877-872-5627).

connected fusion yoga
Yoga helps us connect the mind and body in harmony. When we practice using our inhalations and exhalations as we move, we become more focused on the energy in our bodies. Yoga also helps take lessons like pacing ourselves, being kind to our bodies, and being patient as we hold challenging postures for several breaths, and apply those to our daily lives. Regular yoga practice not only improves physical health but also helps reduce anxiety and improve self-confidence. Come join us every Thursday night at 6:30 pm for Connected Fusion Yoga.
