Who We Are
Mission: To empower older adults by providing paid job training, placement, and support.
AARP Foundation serves vulnerable people 50 and older by creating and advancing effective solutions that help them secure the essentials.
What We Do
The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is the nation’s oldest program to help low-income, unemployed individuals aged 55+ find work. AARP Foundation first matches eligible older job seekers with local nonprofits and public agencies so they can increase skills and build self-confidence, while earning a modest income. Based on their employment interests and goals, participants may also receive supportive services and skills training through an educational institution. Their SCSEP experience most often leads to permanent employment.
