COUDERSPORT — The Potter County Education Council, Tri-Co Connections, the Potter County Human Services Area Agency on Aging, the Seneca Highlands CTC and 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 knowledge to utilize the many benefits of high-speed Internet which include: staying connected to friends and family; utilizing telemedicine (healthcare from home); accessing numerous government on-line tools; using on-line banking; Working from home for a company; shopping from home (for items not available in the local area) and improving eye-hand coordination (strategy-based) video games.

The Seniors 2 Seniors technology course is being offered at each of the four senior centers in Potter County on an eight-week rotating schedule, meeting on Wednesdays from 12:45 – 1:45 p.m. (following the school districts’ calendars), throughout the 2019-2020 school year. The first Seniors 2 Seniors course is currently running at the Shinglehouse Senior Center through Wednesday. The course will also run at the Coudersport Senior Center (Dec. 4 – Feb. 5), the Ulysses Senior Center (Feb. 12 – April 1) and then at the Galeton Senior Center (April 8 – May 27).
