Artificial intelligence is reshaping our world faster than schools, families, seniors, and institutions can keep up. Every day, communities face new risks—deepfakes, voice-cloning scams, AI-enabled fraud, misinformation, and digital confusion that overwhelms families and leaves vulnerable populations exposed.
The AI Readiness Institute (ARI) exists to change that.
Our programs—CAST, AI Navigator Certification, Innovation Labs, AIRAIP, and ASAC—prepare youth, seniors, families, schools, nonprofits, and businesses for the AI era.
But here’s the truth:
We cannot do this without you.
Your support fuels youth leadership, builds community safety, expands our training tools, and ensures that all youth can participate for free.
This page shows you exactly why your support matters, what your gift makes possible, and how you can help build a future where every community is AI-ready.
