Develop skills to shape impactful careers on your own terms, while tackling real community challenges.
Benefits to you
Pitch yourself to your employers with real impact and value you created, not how impactful you might be.
Go beyond AI chatbots and make a real impact in any career path.
Because we know not everyone can afford to join unpaid programs (for select fellows).
Project examples
It’s less ‘I’m just vibe coding, just create it.’ It’s more: I’m the manager, and I have a super smart friend.
All these ideas I’ve had, I can actually go ahead and make them now.
I appreciated the freedom to build it myself.
AI would have still felt unreachable, untouchable if I hadn’t done this program. Now that I’ve actually used it to accomplish a goal, it’s like: this isn’t crazy.
What you will do
Each session is self-paced, with a written handout and a template.
Our platform
Self-directed, Community-Oriented Project Environment (SCOPE) where members drive the projects while developing as more effective changemakers.
Is this for me?
We will help you! It's just like talking to a nice and smart but socially-awkward friend. We already had multiple students who went from zero coding experience to building a full web app.
AI-era skills are fast becoming a scarce advantage in every field. We are at the early stage and your ability to find those opportunities early will immediately set you apart from your peers!
Seven self-paced sessions of about 45 minutes, roughly 20–30 hours in total across 8–10 weeks. You set the pace.
We have the entire first session dedicated to help you think through it. Many students ended up struggling to choose between many different ideas!
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 program 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.
The program is open to anyone motivated to create social impact (incl. high school students, college students, and recent graduates). It’s designed especially for students from under-resourced backgrounds (particularly first-generation and low-income communities), but motivation to make a difference is what matters most.
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.
Roughly 20–30 hours in total across seven sessions, typically over 8–10 weeks. 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.
In select cohorts, eligible members receive an impact grant of up to $1,000 based on the impact their solution creates. Amounts depend on the cohort, and eligibility is confirmed when you join. Every member, in every cohort, earns the completion certificate and an impact report they can show.
The program is structured to help you clearly articulate both the problem you addressed and the impact you created. You will be supported in translating your work into strong resume language, for example: Designed and launched an AI-enabled solution addressing [social problem], serving [X] beneficiaries and generating measurable social impact (equivalent to [$X]).
