At GAIN: Guiding Access to Intelligence Now, we are a non-governmental organization passionately dedicated to empowering youth with the knowledge and skills to effectively leverage Generative AI. Our mission is to bridge the gap between young minds and the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence, ensuring they are not just users, but informed, ethical, and creative contributors.

We believe that understanding and responsibly using GenAI is crucial for the future success and agency of young people in an increasingly AI-driven society.

Our Vision

Our vision is a future where every young person has equitable access to AI education and feels confident and capable in navigating the complexities and opportunities presented by artificial intelligence. We envision a generation of youth who can harness GenAI tools responsibly, ethically, and creatively to solve problems, innovate, and shape a better world.

Without proper guidance, young people may miss out on opportunities or face risks associated with misinformation, bias, and ethical dilemmas. GAIN addresses the critical need for accessible, age-appropriate AI literacy programs that equip youth with the understanding and critical thinking skills necessary to thrive in this new landscape.
