The Senior Community Service Program is a work training program for eligible job seekers age 55 and over. Participants gain skills and work experience so they can successfully compete in the job market. New Horizons provides on-site training and supervision for the participants who are assigned to New Horizons.
AARP pays the participant’s wages and Workers Compensation insurance. The workers are paid for their time in training and usually work 20 hours a week. The assignments include: bookkeeper, computer operator, courier/driver, health care worker, office assistant, custodian, and receptionist.
