AI Futures
A train-the-trainer curriculum designed specifically for justice-impacted communities.
The model is simple: we train facilitators with lived experience, and those facilitators teach their peers. No outside experts. No one flying in to explain technology to people who weren't asked what they needed.
What Participants Learn
The curriculum covers what AI tools are, how to talk to them effectively, and how to use them for the real challenges of reentry — building a resume that addresses a gap in employment history, researching fair chance employers, understanding rights around background checks, and navigating difficult conversations with family and community after release.
Prompt Templates
Participants leave with reusable prompts tailored to real reentry challenges. Brackets indicate places to personalize.
