SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Spectrum has awarded the Westcott Community Center in Syracuse a $20,000 Spectrum Digital Education grant for its broadband computer learning lab and launch.
The funding is part of the company’s five-year, $7 million commitment to digital education in Spectrum communities across the country, per its announcement.
Westcott Community Center will use the funding to train and support older adults with broadband-technology instruction, assess their needs for connection, and help them develop skills to “build better and fuller lives,” Spectrum said.
The center will also provide additional technology instruction to job seekers and community members in need of digital-literacy skills.
Spectrum on Friday presented a check and held a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Westcott Community Center, which is located at 826 Euclid Ave. in Syracuse. Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh; Joan Royle, executive director for the Westcott Community Center; and Alice Kim, director of government affairs for Charter offered brief remarks.
