CPCA is proud to participate in the Experience Works Program. Through this
program, older Pennsylvanians with valuable work experience are paired with
charitable organizations. A volunteer position is set up with the organization
but the participants are paid a wage through Area Agency on Aging.The charitable
organization benefits from the participants experience and help while older
Pennsylvanians are able to contribute to the community while earning a wage.
If interested, please contact CPCA for more details.
