Senior Citizen Outreach (S.C.OUT Program)
3Genx has discovered that the answers to one set of problems lies at the center of another thus creating not only an opportunity for the disenfranchised youth but providing a solution to the ever increasing problems our seniors and handicap face each day.
The retirement community is a vast warehouse of knowledge and experience. 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.
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. While some volunteers work to build houses and clean roads, there are a wide variety of other volunteer opportunities in every community. Simply talking with someone in need of a friend or spending time with a child has a benefit that resonates for a lifetime.
This Organization is dedicated to helping seniors understand the impact they can have on their community by doing just one simple thing— volunteering. According to a new study the American baby boom generation represents the largest untapped pool of potential volunteers for the nonprofit community in recent history.

Fundraising and Work Generation
Key findings: Currently, seniors comprise approximately 21 percent of the residents of the United States. 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 volunteer time.
