Senior Programs

The Title V program provides income eligible adults age 55 and older the opportunity to work for 18 months in a variety of community service activities through non-profit and public facilities.  These may include senior centers, schools, hospitals and social service agencies.  Participants are paid with federal funds at the highest federal, state or local minimum wage level.  The goal is for these experiences to lead workers to unsubsidized employment at the end of 18 months.

Services include:  Individual Employment Plan development, orientation, community service placement, training specific to community service assignment, other training as identified in the Individual Employment Plan, supportive services, wages, fringe benefits, assistance in securing unsubsidized employment, and access to local One-Stop Career Centers. 

Enrollment in the Title V Program requires eligibility determination.  Participants must be physically and mentally capable of working for a maximum of 20 hours per week.
