Connecting Marin’s older adults and individuals with disabilities through equitable access to technology for healthier and happier lives
What is it?
The “digital divide” is the inequitable access to technology or the lack of skills to use it effectively.
Vivalon is committed to breaking down the digital divide for older adults and people with disabilities by providing devices and training to help you improve your skills. We have partnered with organizations throughout the county to provide Marin residents with access to a device and high-quality training and support.
Connection works wonders, and as technology plays an increasingly critical role in all of our lives, Vivalon is your go-to hub to connect with the programs and services you need.
