SENIORS TIME BARTER SERVICE EXCHANGE PROGRAM

The retirement community is a vast warehouse of knowledge and experience. Senior citizens make up an increasing proportion of the population today. Currently seniors comprise approximately 21 percent of the residents in our country. This number is only going to increase over the next twenty to thirty years as the almost 79 million members of the "Baby-Boomer" generation mature. With retirement coming earlier to many in this group, senior citizens today are active, involved and interested in helping, whether it be through charitable contributions or volunteering time.

THE SOCIALLY DISENFRANCHISED YOUTH

To quote a story from the New York Times, Violence by young people has grown so severe that the police have ordered a dusk-to-dawn curfew for juveniles. The epicenter of that fear is the impoverished public housing projects. Here, boys of 14 shoot grown men in drug deals gone bad, children of 11 tote guns too big for their hands, and old people and mothers with small children sleep under beds because big children fire guns indiscriminately just to hear them go "bang." The most recent trend among the young criminals is to prepay their own funerals because they do not expect to live past sixteen.

GIVING BACK TO SOCIETY

The desire to help others less fortunate is a major motivation for seniors to volunteer. Giving back to society, either financially or socially, are also major motivations for volunteerism among seniors. Over one-third of senior volunteers reported that they volunteered because they wanted to give back to society some of the benefits they received individually.

SENIORS DIVISION

This Organization is dedicated to helping seniors understand the impact they can have on their community by doing just one simple thing— volunteering. The American Baby Boom generation represents the largest untapped pool of potential volunteers for the nonprofit community in recent history, according to a new study. By asking someone to volunteer, you are reaching out to them and involving them in the community. Senior Volunteers in America possess experience, expertise, and time that can greatly benefit any organization or cause.

FUNRAISING AND WORK GENERATION

It is our intention to provide a network of senior volunteer professionals, who on behalf of 3genx work diligently securing donations, contributions, mentors and sponsors for the various programs. Their scope will be large and varied and by implementing a well-developed and aggressive fundraising campaign they will target building and supply manufacturing companies, businesses, factories and corporations, securing the necessary building supplies/materials to support all phases of construction and remodels for the property acquisition (real estate flips), young adult and single parent home finance and mortgage programs, as part of the senior volunteer - career management programs.

DRUG EDUCATION AND DRUG AWARENESS

Studies have shown that young adults after completing an intense drug treatment program are often sent back into the community with little or no chance of remaining drug and alcohol free. Returning to the same people, places, and things does hardly more than prolong the inevitable, RELAPSE.

3GENX has discovered that the solution to one set of problems lies at the center of another, thus creating a unique opportunity for the disenfranchised youth, the single parent individual and the ever increasing problems our seniors and handicap face each day. 3genx's multigenerational programs were specifically designed to do one thing, complement and remedy each of the others unique set of social problems.
