UNITED WAY OF THE CAPE FEAR AREA-SENIOR COMMUNITY SERVICE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM (SCSEP)

9/28/2017

 
​“Today, many older Americans are looking for employment to help make ends meet. The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is the only federal program targeted to help older workers. Each year, SCSEP enables thousands of low-income seniors each year to earn and learn while working in local programs serving their community. The vision for SCSEP was foreseen in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the ideals of President Johnson’s Great Society 50 years ago, and echoed in advocacy of “encore careers” for older Americans today.”
From the Senior Service America website.
SSA is the grantor of the Senior Community Service Employment Program administered by the United Way of the Cape Fear Area.
On Thursday, September 28, 2017, National Employ Older Workers Week Celebration was held at the New Hanover County Senior Resource Center in Wilmington, NC. Phillip Hedgepeth, SCSEP Director, introduced speakers E. Craig Heim, United Way of the Cape Fear Area President/CEO; Ginger Brick, Cape Fear Council of Governments Director of Workforce Development; Randolph Keaton, Men and Women United for Youth and Families, Executive Director; Gloria Garton, DisAbility Resource Center Executive Director; and, Mayor Bill Saffo>"

They shouldn't really fear the SCSEP. It may not be dedicated to the younger generation, but it helps the seniors in town. We should help each other build a better foundation for our community. If we keep being selfish, we may not be able to move forward on our current predicament. As a member of this community, it's our duty to make the best out of every opportunity that can help make this a better town.
