Easter Seals is committed to empowering low-income older workers to achieve economic independence and fully engage in the process of determining their own future, through participating in the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP).
SCSEP is the largest federally-funded program for older adults who seek employment and training assistance, as well as civic engagement. Through this transitional employment program, Easter Seals partners with community-based non-profit organizations and government agencies (host agencies) to provide participants with training opportunities to update their skills. During time in SCSEP, job seekers work with Easter Seals staff to target and achieve personal employment goals.
Since beginning to provide the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) in 2003, Easter Seals has served over 9,000 older job seekers, with over 2,000 people transitioning out to employment.
