Harness AI for Your Mission

Harness the power of AI strategically, ethically, and with a focus on real-world impact—without overwhelming your team or compromising your values.

Struggling with How to Get Started with AI?​

When you’re already stretched thin, it’s easy to let AI adoption slip down your priorities list. It seems like AI is everywhere, and it’s all changing so rapidly. How can you possibly keep up or know what might really make a difference for your team and mission? Maybe you’ll find an intern who can try to figure it out for you. But relying on patchwork efforts or trying to learn it all yourself is a formula for frustration and burnout.

Introducing the AI Navigator Program

Our AI Navigator Program is designed for visionary social impact leaders who seek to harness AI for their mission. We blend ethical technology practices, hands-on learning, and impact-focused strategies to help mission-driven teams harness AI effectively. We base our approach on four key pillars that ensure every learner walks away with the practical skills, confidence, and resources needed to drive meaningful results:

Responsible, Human-Centered AI

Because AI should help advance your mission, not undermine it.

Cutting Edge Instructional Design

Proven adult learning methods that energize teams and drive retention.

Real World Applications

No fluff—practical examples tackling actual mission challenges.

Field-Tested Tools and Templates

Resources designed by social impact leaders, for social impact leaders.

A Simpler Path to AI Adoption

Not just training, a road map and a trusted guide

Step 1: Lay the Foundation

Gain a clear understanding of the current AI landscape for social impact—covering ethical considerations, cutting-edge trends, and real-world success stories. Build fundamental AI literacy so your team can confidently discuss opportunities and risks.

Step 2: Evaluate Promising Use Cases

Brainstorm and evaluate the most promising AI use cases that align with your mission, needs, and resources—from personal productivity hacks to organization-wide processes to programmatic innovations.

Step 3: Pilot & Refine

Turn your top use case into a proof-of-concept or minimum viable product (MVP) using the knowledge and skills gained in Steps 1 and 2. Test and measure real-world results, gathering data to refine and enhance the solution for broader adoption.

Avoid Untapped Potential, Unnecessary Frustration

Without a clear path to harness AI responsibly, you risk missing out on transformative opportunities to advance your mission. Time, energy, and resources get squandered on patchwork tools or ad-hoc experiments, leaving your team frustrated and your organization still wondering about whether the promise of AI will ever materialize. The potential for ethical, mission-aligned growth stays untapped.
