Plain Language First
No jargon gatekeeping. We translate complex AI concepts into practical knowledge that anyone can use and apply immediately.
AI literacy programs and workshops that make this technology usable, not intimidating. We believe everyone deserves to understand the tools shaping their world.
We teach AI the way it should have been taught from the start — in plain language, with real examples, and with the community's priorities at the center.
No jargon gatekeeping. We translate complex AI concepts into practical knowledge that anyone can use and apply immediately.
Our workshops start with what matters to the people in the room — their businesses, their neighborhoods, their families.
Participants leave with something they can use the next day. Real tools, real workflows, real capability.
Tailored AI education for every audience
A hands-on workshop series that gives community leaders practical AI literacy — understanding what AI can and cannot do, how to evaluate AI tools, and how to advocate for responsible AI in their communities.
Practical workshops showing SMB owners how to use AI for customer service, operations, marketing, and decision-making — without enterprise budgets or technical staff.
Assessment and training for organizations evaluating AI adoption. We cover risk, ethics, data readiness, and practical implementation planning.
A community-focused session on AI bias, privacy, surveillance, and misinformation. Know the risks so you can protect yourself and your community.
Every Heartwood workshop is designed to transfer real capability — not just awareness.
Every workshop includes at least one practical tool or workflow you can apply the next day — no technical setup required.
Take-home cheat sheets, prompt templates, and decision frameworks your team can reference long after the session ends.
Know what to watch out for — bias, privacy, misinformation — so you can protect yourself and advocate for your community.
Access to Heartwood's team for questions, troubleshooting, and skill reinforcement for a full month after the workshop.
Know what questions to ask, what red flags to watch for, and when to walk away from a tool that does not serve your community.
Connection to other community members and organizations building AI literacy alongside you.
Whether you've never touched AI or you use it daily, we meet you where you are.
Not abstract case studies. We work with your actual business challenges and community contexts.
Every workshop includes templates, cheat sheets, and resource guides your team can use after we leave.
Education doesn't end at the workshop door. We provide 30-day follow-up support to ensure skills stick.
What participants say about the Heartwood experience
Heartwood didn't just run a workshop — they left our team with tools we actually use every day. No jargon, no judgment. Just practical skills that fit our work.
The AI literacy series changed how our nonprofit thinks about technology. Corley met us exactly where we were and showed us what was possible without overwhelming us.
We've worked with tech consultants before. This was different. Heartwood showed up already knowing our community — and they built something that reflects that.
We work with community organizations, small businesses, nonprofits, and local government to deliver tailored AI education that creates lasting capability.
