Our Mission
Lead with AI, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, empowers underserved students to grow as confident leaders, builders, thinkers, and communicators in a world shaped by AI and human–AI collaboration.
We envision:
A future where every young person, regardless of background, can harness the power of AI with creativity, confidence, and conscience. We envision a world where underserved students are not only prepared to thrive alongside intelligent technologies, but are inspired and equipped to shape how those technologies serve humanity.
Problem Statement
1
The future of work is uncertain
AI is changing jobs faster than schools can prepare students.
2
AI education is too narrow
Most programs only teach coding or technical skills, missing the bigger picture of creativity, leadership, and real-world problem solving.
3
Access is unequal
High-quality AI and STEM programs are expensive, leaving underserved students behind.
Our Solution
We work with K-12 schools and districts, colleges and universities, and employers, to provide:
AI-powered career readiness
Students learn by tackling real-world, project-based challenges.
Interdisciplinary learning
We connect AI with business, communication, leadership, and critical thinking.
Democratized access
Every student, regardless of background, gets the chance to build confidence and shape the future with AI.
