Computer Room for Veterans |

Capitol Region RSVP (CR
RSVP) is designing a self sustaining computer lab for veterans with
disabilities to help restore the capability of veterans with disabilities and
improve the quality of their lives and that of their families through the use
of computer technology. CR RSVP volunteers would teach veterans how to use computer
technology giving the veterans skills to volunteer and or work in their
community. The VA Medical Center will
provide accessible and permanent space to house the new computer lab. The VA
will identify the needs of the veterans so that CR RSVP volunteers can train
them to be volunteers in the lab. The lab is maintained and run through the
Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) and its volunteers. Through the
use of volunteers this lab is a long term program that is self sustaining. The CR RSVP volunteers take an active role in
designing and developing new classes. Currently they are designing genealogy
classes to use as a mentoring tool and feel that the veterans will benefit
from this class. The VA Medical Center serves a diverse group of veterans
from all of RI and parts of |
