Coming to a senior center, library or group meeting near you – PSEG Long Island’s Senior Connections.
Launched in March 2025, our free Senior Connections program provides live presentations by subject-matter experts on issues that are important to you: storm preparation, scam prevention, electric safety, energy efficiency and financial assistance to help keep seniors safe and in-the-know.
To bring the program to the places where seniors spend time, PSEG Long Island partners with community-based organizations, libraries, schools, 55+ developments and other groups where seniors attend activities and events.
We at PSEG Long Island value seniors as vibrant and vital members of our community and we recognize that this population can also be among the most vulnerable. That’s why we work with not-for-profit organizations throughout the year to provide fresh produce and volunteers at events. Senior Connections is another way PSEG Long Island enhances its commitment to our customers.
“PSEG Long Island knows how important delivering reliable and affordable energy is to our customers — especially our seniors who depend on our service,” said Scott Jennings, president and COO of PSEG Long Island. “We are driven to be a strong, positive presence in the communities we serve, and are proud to offer these presentations, resources and assistance programs so that our neighbors can continue to thrive here in their golden years.”
Senior Connections has educated hundreds of seniors at dozens of sites from the Hamptons to the Rockaways. Senior Connections seminars can accommodate small or large groups, in person or via interactive virtual video meetings, and we can bring one to your community! Visit psegliny.com/seniorconnections for more information.
As Gandhi once said, “The measure of a society is how well it treats its elderly.” PSEG Long Island is proud to do its part.
Senior Connections is one way PSEG Long Island stays active in local communities. In addition, throughout the year PSEG Long Island employees volunteer hundreds of service hours to important causes like food insecurity, veteran assistance, health-related causes and environmental-related organizations.
