Digital Inclusion Program
The SmartRiverside Digital Inclusion Program is a program designed for bridging the Digital Divide in our local community. Low-income families do not have the available resources to take advantage of new technologies that can assist in improving their education, communication and overall quality of life. Our mission is to provide these services to every family in the City of Riverside. We are a registered non-profit 501(c) 3 Corporation that recycles e-Waste and supplies low income families and seniors with free computer systems, training and support. This is accomplished through donations of computers, monitors and other electronic equipment by large local firms, educational institutions and the public. Systems that meet the minimum criteria are refurbished by the Digital Inclusion staff. Our staff is comprised of a full-time professional management team that employs at-risk youth through the Riverside Project Bridge program. Project B.R.I.D.G.E. (Building Resources for the Intervention and Deterrence of Gang Engagement) is managed by the Parks, Recreation and Community Development Department of the City of Riverside. They wipe the hard drives and configure the systems with the Windows 2000/XP Professional operating system and the Microsoft Office Suite. Systems that do not meet the minimum requirements are disposed of by a State Approved E-Waste recycling center that pays SmartRiverside for the e-Waste material. The recycling and refurbishment of this material contributes to the operational costs of SmartRiverside, supplies low-income families with free computer systems and assists in protecting our environment in accordance with our Nation's Green Initiatives.
