Senior Community Service Employment Program

The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is for low-income seniors who seek employment, training assistance, and social engagement. Through our transitional employment program, we partner with community-based non-profit organizations and government agencies to provide participants with training opportunities to update their skills. During their part-time internship, seniors receive minimum wage to help supplement their income until they receive permanent employment. Our staff work with job seekers to target and achieve personal employment goals. This program is funded by the U.S. Department of Labor.

Letter of gratitude from a former participant in the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP):

To Whom It May Concern:

Easterseals.
What are they? What do they do?
Easterseals is a wonderful organization of fabulous people.
They work with seniors and veterans. They give you hope. They rebuild your pride.
They make you believe in yourself because they believe in you.
They make you feel you are still worth something.
How do I know? I know because I am one of their graduates. I am 81 years old and I have held my present job for over two years.
How do your thank some one for giving your back a reason to get up every morning and to thank God for each and every day?
They show you life is worth living and they help you all the way.

Thank you Easterseals.
