They encourage the use of information technology to improve the quality of life. For her part, aside from serving on the board of CPSR, Coralee founded Virtually Wired Education Foundation. Virtually Wired, located near Downtown Crossing in Boston, brings Internet access to the most under-served members of our community. Many of Virtually Wired regulars, and all of their volunteers, either are homeless now, or were homeless when they first started coming to Virtually Wired. According to Coralee, there is a tremendous level of computer skill in the homeless community.
Most people use Virtually Wired for writing resumes and searching for jobs.
The Internet gets people interested enough to get them over these humps. About ten minutes of training is all they find is needed to get people using the web. We should all applaud Coralee's efforts to reach out to this community. All rights reserved.
