CPAI runs on the generosity of people who believe AI literacy matters. Whether you have two hours or two months, there's a meaningful way to contribute.

How to Help

Ways to Volunteer

Four ways to contribute based on your interests, skills, and availability.

🧭

Mentor a Cohort Participant

Pair with an APC or program participant for a 4-week mentorship. Share your experience using AI in your field and help them think through how it applies to their work.

~2 hrs/week for 4 weeks
🎤

Facilitate a Workshop

Lead or co-lead a Community Event session on a topic you know well: a tool you use, an industry use case, or an AI ethics question you care about.

One-time, 2–3 hrs
🤲

Help at Events

Support event logistics: check-in, setup, breakout facilitation, or photography. A great way to stay connected to the CPAI community and meet people.
