Leveraging AI for Educational Impact and Organizational Efficiency
As AI advances rapidly, Team4Tech is uniquely positioned to help NGO partners leverage the opportunity to better prepare their learners for the future. By hosting AI learning cohorts, providing expert coaching and technology grants, and sharing knowledge resources, Team4Tech is accelerating NGO impact as they develop strategies for integrating AI to improve teaching and learning. Explore our current AI initiatives below.
I am proud to have explored Generative AI in supporting teacher practice. Through modeling, co-planning, and reflective conversations during coaching sessions, I have grown more confident in using these tools in my work. This journey has also shifted my mindset to seeing Generative AI as an enabler in strengthening my work as an educator and not a replacement.”

Peer Learning Cohorts
IMPLEMENTING GENERATIVE AI IN EDUCATION TRAINING COHORT
With funding from the Ezrah Charitable Trust, Team4Tech is leading a three-year project (2025-2027) to build staff capacity and responsible use of Generative AI tools for education-focused nonprofits across Africa. This program offers a blended learning model featuring online coursework, virtual workshops, peer learning, and targeted coaching from an AI expert. Three annual cohorts of 10 nonprofit organizations each will develop and pilot AI use cases aligned to their missions, improve organizational efficiency, and explore applications that enhance teaching and learning. The initiative also supports long-term sustainability through peer learning spaces and sharing of knowledge products aimed at supporting responsible, contextually-relevant AI adoption in education.

AI LITERACY FOR YOUTH
Team4Tech is partnering with Raspberry Pi Foundation and Google DeepMind to guide NGOs through the Experience AI educational curriculum, enabling educators to develop AI literacy for learners (ages 11-14). Available in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, these NGO learning cohorts will support 15-20 community-based NGOs in 2026.
CORPORATE AI ACCELERATOR
In partnership with Dell Technologies, Team4Tech delivered an AI Accelerator Program for a cohort of 14 community-based nonprofits from seven countries. Nonprofits participating in this accelerator program received six asynchronous training modules, as well as facilitated learning sessions with peers in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. These virtual trainings provided additional support and guidance on AI planning and implementation. As a result of participating in the course, nonprofits created individual implementation plans and piloted an initiative to integrate AI into their work and management practices.
Among the use cases piloted as part of this implementation planning, NGOs focused on:
- Creating engaging, tailored educational content for learners
- Analyzing program, participant, and infrastructure data to improve reporting, evaluation, and decision-making
- Developing virtual assistants to respond to staff or community queries more efficiently
Skills-Based Volunteering Projects
DRIVING AI ADOPTION THROUGH SKILLS-BASED VOLUNTEERING
Fundacion Paraguaya | Asunción, Paraguay
Team4Tech connected our nonprofit partner, Fundación Paraguaya (FP), with skilled employee volunteers from Salesforce for two on-site projects supporting their Poverty Stoplight initiative. Poverty Stoplight helps families assess their poverty levels across various economic and social dimensions and create personalized improvement plans. Team4Tech facilitated collaboration between FP and the Salesforce employee volunteers to explore AI tools for data analysis, enabling FP to gather deeper insights to support families in better understanding how to advance socio-economically. Volunteers worked with FP to improve an AI assistant that retrieves better information and offers personalized solutions for the families FP supports.
The Team4Tech experience has significantly enhanced our ability to leverage technology for greater impact. With the skills and tools provided, we can now more effectively reach underserved communities and scale our operations. This partnership has empowered us to think bigger and confidently approach our goals.”

Reap Benefit | Bengaluru, India
Team4Tech leveraged skills-based volunteering support to build AI-enabled capacity for our India-based nonprofit partner, Reap Benefit. Reap Benefit works to equip youth with 21st-century skills to drive change in their local communities. With Team4Tech’s support, Reap Benefit is enhancing data visualization tools, curating behavioral nudges, and identifying and outlining actions that lead to long-term employability skills for their learners. In February 2025, Team4Tech led an in-person Design for Impact Workshop with volunteers from Guidewire Software and their technology partner, EY, to rapidly generate solutions to improve Reap Benefit’s learner-facing platform, digital engagement through WhatsApp, and mentorship and learner interaction. Later in 2025, our volunteer team built on this work and leveraged Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture to deliver an AI chatbot providing learner resources and responding to questions.
Team4Tech facilitated a valuable collaboration between Guidewire, EY, and Reap Benefit, bringing together skilled volunteers to tackle critical challenges in our tech ecosystem. The teams provided actionable insights and prototyped solutions that will help us drive deeper participation among young changemakers. This collaboration not only strengthened our technology but also reinforced the power of cross-sector partnerships in solving real-world problems.”
