AI Literacy Foundations
Half day workshops that give your team a shared starting line with AI.
Two ways to take it. One ready off the shelf. One built around your team. Both end with a working team prompt your group built together.
Two Ways to Learn
Same shared learning outcomes. Different practice scenarios.
Vibrant Valley AI Workshop
Productized. Ready to go.
Your team practices on Vibrant Valley, a fictional civic association we built for exactly this purpose. Mock meeting minutes, bylaws, an issues log, and real community challenges. The civic setting translates easily to any community serving work, so you do not have to be a civic association to benefit. By the end, your team will have built a working AI prompt around a Vibrant Valley use case that translates directly to your own work.
Especially good when:
Your group comes from multiple teams or organizations
Your team is curious about AI but not sure yet how you might use it
You want a strong foundation before identifying specific use cases
Your team is a civic assocation
You need a more accessible price point
Custom AI Workshop
Built around your team's work.
We build the workshop around your team's actual use cases. Together we identify three to five real scenarios your team handles, like drafting communications, summarizing documents, preparing reports, or analyzing community data. By the end, your team will have built a working AI prompt around one of your real workflows, ready to use the next day.
Especially good when:
Your team works together on shared workflows
You already have ideas about where AI could help
You want training that translates directly to next day use
You have budget for a tailored experience
What your team will learn
Both workshops cover the same core ground. The difference is the scenarios.
Understand what AI is, how it works, and where its limits are
Use AI confidently on real tasks
Know when to use AI and when not to
Write better prompts and improve outputs through iteration
Collaborate on building team prompts for shared work
Catch AI mistakes before they cause problems
Talk about AI as a team with shared vocabulary
What You Build Together
A Working Team Prompt
The centerpiece of every workshop is a working team prompt your group builds together during the session. It addresses a specific use case, lives in a shared document, and is ready to use.
In the Vibrant Valley Workshop, your team builds a prompt around a civic association use case that translates easily to community serving work. In the Custom AI Workshop, your team builds a prompt around one of your actual workflows.
You also leave with:
A printed cheat sheet of prompt techniques and verification habits
A shared team vocabulary for talking about AI
A short list of AI tools matched to the kind of work your team actually does
🕐
Format
Half day. Three hours. In person or virtual.
How it works
👥
Group Size
5 to 10 people. Every voice gets room.
💻
What to Bring
A laptop or tablet, and access to any AI chatbot. (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or whatever you already use).
Beyond AI: a practice ground for community
The Vibrant Valley scenarios are not random. They mirror the real work of civic associations and community organizations: meeting minutes, bylaws, neighborhood issues, hard conversations. Practicing AI on these scenarios is also practicing the kinds of decisions and writing you would do as a volunteer, board member, or engaged neighbor.
If you have ever thought about joining a civic association or community organization but felt unsure where to start, the Vibrant Valley workshop is a low risk place to begin. You leave with AI skills. You also leave with a clearer sense of what civic work looks like and the confidence to step into your own community.
Your neighborhood, your city, your community organizations need people who show up informed, prepared, and ready to contribute. We hope you become one of them.
Our approach
Most AI training treats AI like a tool you learn to push the right buttons on. We focus on how to think about AI: what to trust, what to verify, how to work with it as a team.
Whichever workshop you choose, your team practices on realistic scenarios without risking your actual work, your data, or your reputation.
The goal is not just learning a tool. It is building shared judgment your team carries forward, even as people come and go.
