COURSE: AI Foundations

For Nonprofit Leaders


About this Service

A self-paced course for Canadian nonprofit leaders ready to engage with AI safely, intentionally, and without the overwhelm. Designed for leaders, managers, and staff who want clear guidance, practical tools, and values-first structure as they bring AI into their organizations. This is the same foundations training I teach inside organizations and at sector events, rebuilt for individual learners in a spacious, easy to work through format. CONTENT: Module 1: Welcome & AI Landscape Module 2: Mission-Driven AI Use Cases Module 3: Data Foundations & Bias Awareness Module 4: Planning for AI Adoption Module 5: Ethical AI & Responsible Use Module 6: AI Governance & Policy Module 7: Building AI-Ready Teams Module 8: Pilot Projects & Implementation Module 9: Measuring Impact & Continuous Improvement Module 10: Case Studies & Future Outlook AI is moving quickly, but your values don’t have to. This course gives nonprofits a structured, human-centered way to step into AI with clarity - not urgency - and to build systems that protect the people you serve while freeing capacity for what matters most.

I’m a white settler, grateful to be a living on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded lands of the Songhees, Esquimalt (Lək̓ʷəŋən), and WSÁNEĆ peoples. Unceded means they were never signed over through treaty rights, and still rightfully belong to the nations who have stewarded them since time immemorial.

I recognize the ongoing impacts of colonialism and commit to using my voice and work to contribute to truth, repair, and meaningful change.
