Seniors 2 Seniors Program is Back Again!
The Potter County Education Council, Tri-Co Connections, the Potter County Human Services Area Agency on Aging, and our local school districts are continuing to team up to implement a county-wide program called Seniors 2 Seniors.
This program is teaching basic computer skills, digital literacy, and cybersecurity to senior citizens so that they have the skills and knowledge to utilize the many benefits of high-speed Internet, which can include: Staying connected to friends and family; Sending and receiving emails; Using search engines to navigate the Internet; Utilizing telemedicine (healthcare from home); Using on-line banking; and Shopping from home (for items not available in the local area).
As a part of this program, local high school students volunteer to provide on-site support to each of the adults who participate in the course. The area high school students are a logical resource to support the senior citizens as they learn about the Internet since this generation of students has grown up with technology as a part of their daily lives. They are a true “tech savvy” population and can provide valuable support to older adults who are learning to navigate and use new technological skills and information.
The Seniors 2 Seniors technology course is being offered at each of the four senior centers in Potter County on a six-week rotating schedule, meeting on Wednesdays (following the school districts’ calendars), throughout the 2023-2024 school year.
The course will meet at the Shinglehouse Center on Wednesdays, September 13th – October 18th from 12:45 – 2:15 p.m. The course is tentatively scheduled to meet at the Coudersport Senior Center on Wednesdays, October 25th – December 6th. (The course will not meet on November 22nd.)
The registration deadline for the Shinglehouse course is Wednesday, September 6th. Register yourself, a parent, or grandparent by calling the Potter County Education Council at (814) 274-4877 or by stopping by the Education Council’s Coudersport office at 5 Water Street.

Specifically, they were given the opportunity to read and share novels by the YA author Kwame Alexander at a book forum at the library on Saturday, July 15.
