Why attend?

AI is already reshaping every business function. This is where social impact teams put it to work — in a single hands-on afternoon. Built for senior social impact and CSR leaders, it’s a working session: you’ll leave with practical AI workflows you can put to use the next day.

Built for your team, not for engineers

For volunteering, engagement, and social impact teams. No jargon, no prerequisites.

You’ll build, not just watch

Bring a laptop, leave with working AI workflows for real CSR challenges.

Taught by the people building AI

Led by Goodera’s AI engineers and expert volunteers from major tech companies.

The AI Roundtable

Start with a conversation.

CSR leaders around a roundtable table, viewed from above

Before we build with AI, we talk about it.

  • Small, facilitated roundtables with fellow CSR and social impact leaders.
  • Share what's working, compare approaches, and surface the questions you haven't said out loud.
  • Because confidence with AI doesn't come from experts alone — it comes from each other.

The Workshop

Three sessions, one afternoon — you leave having built, not just learned.

Warm Up

Build Your AI Foundation

Start from zero. Learn to talk to AI, pick the right tool for the job, and put it to work the same afternoon.

  • Prompts that get real results
  • The right AI tool for each task
  • AI for research, writing & planning

Build

Build Your AI Assistant

A hands-on build sprint. In teams of 3–4, take a real Goodera case study from sticky-note plan to finished deliverables — using the AI you like best.

1

Team up on a live problem

In teams of 3–4, take on a real Goodera case study — a docket drawn from an actual social-impact problem.

Inside the case study docket
  • A real-life problem statement
  • Volunteering & program data
  • Expected deliverables

2

Brainstorm a solution architecture

Map it out together before any code: what the AI needs to know, where the data comes from, each step from input to output, and how you’ll know it works.

3

Build solutions on your preferred LLM

Turn the plan into working prompts and tools — your model of choice.
