To support healthy leisure activities for seniors aged 60 and over, 1,183 students are expected to participate in 68 education, hobby, and leisure programs. By welfare center, the Main Building offers 12 courses with 198 participants, Sanghyeong Branch 20 courses with 331 participants, Sangrakwon 11 courses with 136 participants, and Cheongrakwon 25 courses with 518 participants.

This year, to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), the number of participants per class is limited to 20 or fewer. Lecture-style classes (such as Korean and English) and programs with low physical activity (such as foot health and yoga) will be conducted face-to-face, but singing classes and dance programs will be held online via KakaoTalk.

A city official stated, "We hope the welfare center programs will become a source of vitality for seniors to live lively and healthy lives," and added, "We kindly ask everyone to strictly follow quarantine rules such as wearing masks when using the welfare centers."
