(Alliance E-News Service) — The Alliance's New Age of Aging initiative offers access to informative resources from the Alliance’s Severson Center on topics related to the growing population of older adults. This service is an extension of the initiative's goal to help Alliance member agencies and their staff prepare for the needs of older adults and provide services that help bridge the gap between the human services community and the aging baby boom population. The New Age of Aging recommends the following resources:
Nonprofits + Older Volunteers = Great Return Baby boomers reaching retirement age are ready to invest their time and talent in nonprofits—and the potential payoff is big. A report from the National Council on Aging, which examined more than 60 nonprofits, found that, on average, for every $1,000 invested in skilled older volunteers, nonprofits enjoyed a return of $8,000.
The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is the nation's oldest program that helps low-income, unemployed older adults find work. SCSEP matches eligible individuals with part-time jobs for community service organizations. This website provides information about how your organization can participate in the program.  |
