FAQ
Yes. You do not need any prior experience with AI to join. Students at all levels of AI familiarity are welcome. The core goal of the programme is to help you develop AI fluency and apply it meaningfully to real social challenges. We will support you step by step throughout the program.
Though the program is designed primarily for first-year college students from under-resourced backgrounds (specifically first-generation and low-income communities), the program itself is open to anyone who is motivated to create social impact.
As an AI-fluent changemaker, you will develop future-proof skills such as proactive problem solving and applied AI fluency. These capabilities will enable you to create disproportionate value in any field, whether nonprofit leadership, entrepreneurship, consulting, finance, or technology.
Beyond technical skills, the program's social-impact focus equips you with the mindset and tools to pursue a more purposeful career. No matter which path you choose, you will learn how to translate your work into meaningful impact within your own communities.
The commitment is to complete the programme. There is no fixed pace. Students progress at their own speed, with an emphasis on learning depth and real-world social impact rather than speed or output volume.
Participants may earn impact-based rewards of up to $1,000, depending on the scale of their impact they create through the solution (validated by ImpactCorps coach). Rewards are tied to two components:
The $1,000 cap applies to under-resourced students. Other participants may still earn impact-based rewards, though the cap may be lower.
The program is structured to help you clearly articulate both the problem you addressed and the impact you created. You will be supported in translating your work into strong resume language, for example: Designed and launched an AI-enabled solution addressing [social problem], serving [X] beneficiaries and generating measurable social impact (equivalent to [$X]).
