Bridging The Digital and Generational Divide
The Seniors to Seniors Program is a local program to teach senior citizens basic technology skills. These skills include getting to know your device, learning basic navigation, using web browsers, cyber safety, setting up email, sending and receiving emails, and more.
While the instructor is providing material, the participants are supported by senior high school student volunteers from local school districts. This program was developed in 2019 by The Potter County Education Council, Tri-Co Connections and Potter County Human Services’ Area Agency on Aging.
Additional partnerships with Seneca Highlands Career and Technical Center, Juniata Valley Bank (JVB), Northwest Bank, C&N Bank, First Citizens Community Bank, UPMC Cole and PA Link have provided additional support and collaboration towards the success of the program.
In 2022, the Potter County Education Council collaborated with Tri-Co Connections and the B/S/S/T Area Agency on Aging, Inc., to bring the Seniors 2 Seniors program to Tioga County. Additional partnerships with First Citizens Community Bank, Develop Tioga, UPMC, Guthrie, First Heritage Federal Credit Union, and PenTeleData have allowed the program to be extended to Seniors in Tioga County.
