This role allows seniors an outlet to stay active and engaged in their communities. When you give to Porter-Leath initiatives like Generations, you are supporting your neighbors at every stage in life. Make your gift now: porterleath.org/donate.

This year, a total of 18 seniors 55+ graduated from Porter-Leath’s AmeriCorps Seniors Workforce Development Program and reentered the workforce as new early childhood educators. The program gives seniors a second start at a career and a way to stay connected to their communities. A retired educator, Carolyn learned about the workforce development program from a friend. Upon graduating and receiving her Childhood Development Associate Credential, she was hired as an assistant teacher at Porter-Leath! Of her experience, she says, “Thank you for a chance, an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of young children. This seasoned educator is back in the workforce, and I’m so happy!”
