Level Up with AI: Exploring AI for Work and Everyday Life

Level Up with AI: Exploring AI for Work and Everyday Life

This beginner-friendly workshop introduces AI in a practical, accessible way. You’ll learn what AI is, where it already shows up in everyday life, and how to use it safely and confidently to support work, school, and daily tasks.

You’ll see practical demonstrations, explore real-life examples, and learn simple strategies you can begin using immediately.

Together, we’ll explore how AI can help you:

  • Learn and understand new information
  • Stay organized and manage everyday tasks
  • Communicate more confidently through emails, messages, and other writing
  • Support your job search and prepare for workplace communication
  • Use AI safely while protecting your privacy

Whether you’re new to AI or simply curious about how it can support your goals, you’ll leave with practical tools, greater confidence, and a better understanding of how AI can become a helpful part of your everyday life and work.

Nonprofit NetWalk with Curebound in Sorrento Valley

I came across a statistic recently that was quite eye-opening–about 40% of all people in the U.S. will have cancer in their lifetime. Wow!

There are a lot of organizations doing research to find cures. We’re fortunate to have a nonprofit in San Diego, Curebound, that has funded cancer research to the tune of $50 million thus far.

I’m thrilled that Curebound will be hosting our upcoming Nonprofit NetWalk in Sorrento Valley on Friday, May 29.

We’ll have the opportunity to meet Jayme Rubenstein, Community Fundraising Manager. Join us for what promises to be a fun and enlightening socially-paced networking walk with fellow nonprofit leaders, philanthropists, and board members!

Climate Advocacy Group – Dayenu Circle

Join Coastal Roots Farm for their new Dayenu Circle, a monthly advocacy group rooted in Jewish values and hope-filled climate action.

Together with Dayenu Circles across the US, we are fighting to pass an important and winnable CA initiative: the CA Climate Superfund Bill (SB 684/AB 1243), or “Make Polluters Pay.” The Polluters Pay Superfund Bill will make the Big Oil and Gas companies that have made trillions in profits in California pay their fair share when climate emergencies strike our state.
