HELP OLDER ADULTS GET BACK TO WORK AARP Foundation collaborates with community partners to help us empower older jobseekers and workers. _AARP FOUNDATION SENIOR COMMUNITY SERVICE EMPLOYMENT

PROGRAM (SCSEP)_ AARP Foundation SCSEP matches unemployed adults with local nonprofits and public agencies so they can increase skills and build confidence while earning a modest training

wage. These training assignments give participants— who must be 55 or older and have very low income — the knowledge and experience to obtain future employment. At the same time, the “host”

organizations benefit from access to an expanded workforce at no additional cost. LEARN HOW YOU CAN BECOME AN AARP FOUNDATION SCSEP HOST AGENCY. _BACK TO WORK 50+_ BACK TO WORK 50+ has been

doing just what its name says — helping people over 50 get back to work — since 2013. The free program helps unemployed older adults build the skills and confidence they need to compete for

high-quality jobs. Its success depends on a nationwide network of community partners who implement the program in their area. Community partners reach and serve older adults by incorporating

tools and resources that address the unique challenges jobseekers over 50 face as they look for new work opportunities. To find out about partnership opportunities, DIAL TOLL FREE

Corps engages highly trained adults over 50 to help children become proficient readers by the end of the third grade. It’s a proven “triple win,” helping students succeed, older adults

thrive, and communities grow stronger. Research shows that Experience Corps is one of the most effective K-3 literacy interventions — one that generates enduring positive outcomes for

students, volunteers, schools, and communities. With its intergenerational approach, the program not only helps students at a critical juncture in their education but also engages volunteers

in their communities, putting their wisdom to work while they guide the next generation of readers. We’re working closely with municipalities, community agencies and school districts across

the country to expand the Experience Corps network. LEARN HOW TO BECOME AN EXPERIENCE CORPS PROGRAM PARTNER. APPLY FOR A GRANT _GRANTMAKING_ AARP Foundation’s grantmaking supports

sustainable, real-world solutions to the fundamental challenges facing older adults with low income. We collaborate with grantee and partner organizations to identify evidence-based projects

that transform lives and communities — projects that we know can be expanded nationwide. Through grants, AARP Foundation enables grantees to help more people and work more efficiently, with

a goal of bringing proven new approaches to scale and making resources go further. Learn more about our GRANTMAKING process. Marian Chauvin cuts the ribbon to her newly rebuilt home.
