About
AI for the people who keep communities running.
Future Leaders in AI is an independent civic and nonprofit publication. We publish practical guides and reporting for nonprofits, neighborhood and civic groups, and the programs that serve older adults, students, and families, and we run hands-on workshops so those teams can put AI to work themselves.
Our mission
To give the people doing community work the same AI advantage that well-funded companies have: clear guidance, honest reviews of tools, and hands-on training, without the jargon or the price tag.
What we do
We publish practical guides organized by who you serve, report on policy and programs that affect community groups, and run hands-on workshops taught by Micah Berkley.
What we value
Useful over impressive
We write for the volunteer coordinator, the grant writer, and the neighborhood secretary. If it does not save a real person real time, it does not make the page.
Access for all
AI literacy should not depend on a tech budget. We favor free and low-cost tools and plain language.
Responsible by default
Privacy, accuracy, and a human in the loop come first, in every guide and every workshop.
Sources you can check
Every statistic links to where it came from. When we cannot verify a claim, we cut it.
