Nine 'Best Practices' of Highly Effective SCSEP Projects. Lessons in What Makes These Projects a Success. Senior Community Service Employment Program.

PB2002108900

Publication Date	2002
Page Count	40
Abstract	Since 1965, The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) and its predecessor, Operation Mainstream, have enabled economically disadvantaged older Americans aged 55 and above to help themselves while helping others in communities throughout America. Public and private nonprofit community agencies benefit from the valuable experience, skills, work ethic and productivity that SCSEP participants bring to the work environment. The Program helps address urgent needs that might other wise go unmet while empowering participants to become self-sufficient, thus avoiding public assistance as they provide essential community services and gain the necessary confidence and job skills for obtaining unsubsidized employment.
