Navigate AI Without Compromising Your Values
Your team wants to know why to use AI, when it makes sense, and how to keep it aligned with your mission.

The Conversation Your Team Is Already Having
(Just Not Out Loud)
Your staff have wildly different perspectives on AI. Some are already eagerly experimenting. Many have serious ethical concerns. Some see opportunity, others see threat.

People across your organization are making daily decisions about AI use without shared guidance. What tools to try, what data to input, what to trust. The result isn't just inefficiency. It's risk.
​
Most organizations like yours have inconsistent AI practices, potential exposure of sensitive data, equity gaps between power users and everyone else, and a growing disconnect between your stated values and your actual operations.
​
​
What you need isn't just tool recommendations or generic training. What you need is the facilitated conversation that helps everyone get on the same page, and the clear policies and skills that follow from it.

Mission Driven. Like You.
We're not AI salespeople. We are practitioners who've spent decades in environmental education, K-12 teaching, nonprofit research and evaluation, and organizational development. We've led classrooms, written grants, answered to boards, and navigated the politics of tight budgets and skeptical stakeholders.
​
When AI arrived in our sectors, we faced the same questions you're facing. So we did the research, built the frameworks, tested the approaches, and started helping organizations like yours figure this out.

Three Steps To Clarity
Your path emerges from understanding your unique culture, concerns, and goals. We generally follow these three steps when getting started:
Surface What's Real
We bring leadership and staff together in a structured, facilitated working session to surface perspectives, concerns, and aspirations about AI. This isn't about convincing anyone. It's about creating clarity together so everyone understands where you're starting from.

1. Assemble
2. Assess

Map the Landscape
From that dialogue, we map your situation. Where is the common ground? Where are the tensions? What guidance would most effectively serve your mission? You receive a written assessment showing what we heard, where the gaps are, and the specific pathways available to you.
3. Activate
Build What You Need
Based on what emerged, you choose what comes next. That might include AI use policies, hands-on staff training, ongoing advisory support, or implementation guidance. Whatever the path, you walk away with concrete tools your team can use and your board can stand behind.
Let's Start With a Conversation
In 30 minutes, we'll help you name your biggest AI challenge, identify your most immediate needs, and map a realistic next step, whether that's with us or on your own. No pitch, no pressure. We’ll give you as much value for free as we can.
Choose Your Path
We believe every organization should be able to navigate AI thoughtfully and ethically, regardless of budget.

Why This Can't Wait
AI isn't going to slow down while your organization figures it out. But the risks of inaction aren't the ones most people talk about.
The trust risk
Your staff may already be making AI decisions every day about what to use, what data to share, what outputs to trust. Without shared norms, those decisions are invisible and inconsistent. When a board member or funder asks "What's your AI policy?" you need an answer.
The equity risk
Some team members are becoming AI power users while others feel left behind. Without intentional guidance, AI creates internal divides — in capability, confidence, and voice. The people with the least access to training have the most at stake.
The values risk
Every AI tool comes from somewhere, built by someone with specific interests. Using these tools without examining who benefits and how power shifts may put you at cross-purposes with your own mission. Not dramatically, but incrementally. The question is whether your AI use will be examined or unexamined.
From Confusion to Confidence
Here's what it could look like on the other side:
Your team has a clear AI use policy, and they actually understand it. When someone asks "Can I use AI for this?" there's a straightforward answer, not a shrug. When your board asks about your approach, your team can articulate exactly what you're doing and why.
Staff feel more confident, less conflicted. They know which tools to use, what data stays out, and where to go with questions. New team members get oriented quickly. Your organization learns together, sharing discoveries, flagging concerns, building collective judgment over time.
And with that foundation in place, AI actually starts delivering. Repetitive administrative work that burn people out are increasingly automated so your team can spend more time on the work they came here to do. The fieldwork. The teaching. The direct service. The creative, human, mission-critical work that no algorithm can replace.
