The Challenge: AI and other emerging technologies are changing the way we participate in civic life. How can we ensure that those most impacted by technological advancement, including young people have access to digital tools and are engaged in how they are designed and deployed?

By centering the experiences and perspectives of underrepresented groups, we can help build a more future-ready digital world. Through our initiatives, we aim to level the playing field for those who support communities and seek to advance a more engaged public.
