I have time on my hands and am looking for a place to lend a hand. I have excellent computer skills, enjoy helping people and have an employment history in the area of human services. I live in Riverside and would rather stay on this side of the river but will drive downtown if I can be of service somewhere. Thoughts and suggestions are welcome.

I have a good friend in RI that uses his computer skills to help veterans with computers. I did a quick google search and found this link...do not know anything about the organization but this is similar to what he volunteers his time on back home, he really enjoys it. Also check Craigslist under volunteers needed. Good luck

Thoughts: Riverside & Downtown are on the same of the river, generally speaking.

Suggestions close to you: Worksource, Salvation Army, Legal Aid, Riverside Arts Market, Community First Saturdays, Sulzbacher Center, multiple schools, multiple senior centers/apartments, St. Johns Riverkeeper, Downtown Vision, Riverside Avondale Preservation, etc

Lt. Whiteside, who runs this program, is a great guy and a bit of a character.

It's a bare bones organization that helps Veteran's learn computer skills, and a little interview/employment skills too.

Located in the Edward Waters College area.
