The Area Agency on Aging administers the Senior Aides Program in each of the seven counties in Region 2. The Program provides part-time training assignments for low income persons 55 years old and older.

Training assignments are in agencies that serve the needs of local communities. These agencies, referred to as Host Agencies, include schools, libraries, county departments, public parks, Headstart programs, local aging service providers and many others.

In addition to job training, the program provides educational, social and supportive services for enrollees. The goal of the Senior Aides Program is to promote dignity, independence and well being of older workers by providing job skills training, employment preparation and job placement.
