The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) was established to assist those 55 years of age and older enter/reenter the workforce.  SCSEP participants are taught marketable job skills to make them employable in today's work enviornment.  This program began over 40 years ago as part of the War on Poverty and it is now a national program under the Older Americans Act of 1973.

FTHRA's Senior Employment Program participants are paid minimum wage and work part-time in non-profit and public organizations.  The program provides a win-win for participants and their communities:  Participants help community organizations by providing extra much needed man power, while they receive on the job training.
