We have a great program, the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), that helps adults 55 and over obtain training and part-time community service work that will start you on the path toward financial stability. These assignments pay a minimum wage stipend and help you attain the self-esteem you may have lost through prolonged unemployment. Obtaining a job in these economic times is extremely difficult. But, working for the NCOA will help add to your resume - showing a future employer that you are working currently, something that companies take very seriously.

To be eligible, you must meet these requirements:

- Be Unemployed.
- Be 55 or older.
- Have Reliable Transportation.
- Be living on a family income of no more than 125% of the federal poverty level. If unsure, please contact us, and we will be more than happy to help.

Please feel free to contact us to schedule an appointment with one of our facilitators. We would love to speak with you.
