OFFKM is a host agency for the AARP Foundation’s SCSEP, Senior Community Service Employment Program.
Why Does SCSEP Matter?
Today, many older Americans are looking for employment to help make ends meet. The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is the only federal program targeted to help older workers. Each year, SCSEP enables thousands of low-income seniors each year to earn and learn while working in local programs serving their community. The vision for SCSEP was foreseen in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the ideals of President Johnson’s Great Society 50 years ago, and echoed in advocacy of “encore careers” for older Americans today.
