AI Education and Tools to Address "The AI Divide"

YouthGPT is a socially-driven organization dedicated to empowering young people and adults, especially those from underserved communities, through Free Generative AI education, training, tools, and mentorship. We equip people with the skills and opportunities they need to thrive in an AI-driven world, ensuring they become active creators and innovators, not just spectators.

YouthGPT was founded in January 2023 by Gerard Gooch, a visionary technology entrepreneur passionate about bridging what he calls "The AI Divide." With a deep-rooted background in AI, startups, and mentorship, Gerard started a movement aimed at empowering youth through groundbreaking AI education and training programs. He remains deeply committed, dedicating his expertise, time, and resources to ensure YouthGPT fulfills its mission to empower the next generation.

"I founded YouthGPT to bridge the widening AI divide and ensure that everyone, particularly those facing above-average challenges, has the opportunity to thrive in the AI-driven future. YouthGPT embodies my commitment to leveraging AI for good, providing Generative AI education, training, mentorship, and career opportunities to those who might otherwise be left behind."

- Gerard Gooch, Founder of YouthGPT

YouthGPT is unique in its approach, offering free educational resources and mentorship for youth, while charging companies for specialized Corporate and Small Business AI Education and Training Programs and Business AI Employee Toolkits. These corporate offerings help sustain the free educational programs for individuals in the future. YouthGPT is currently funded by our founders and key supporters.

Our Vision

The vision for YouthGPT is a future where all people, especially our young, regardless of their background, can actively participate in the AI revolution. We strive to build a world where youth, empowered by AI, lead the charge in solving some of society’s biggest challenges—driving innovation, promoting diversity in tech, and shaping a brighter future for all.

Our Mission

We are committed to democratizing access to cutting-edge AI technologies and resources, focusing on youth and unemployed adults. At YouthGPT, we believe that everyone deserves access to powerful AI knowledge and tools to shape their future. Through accessible, high-quality AI education and mentorship, we unlock our students' full potential, empowering them to become innovative business and creative leaders. We aim to equip people with the AI-driven knowledge to lead better lives and make a lasting impact on the world.

"Our mission is to reach 100,000 individuals through our training programs by the end of 2025. With over 463 million children lacking internet access and 1.2 billion students projected to be without the necessary tools for remote learning by 2025, we know we're addressing only a small part of a rapidly widening gap. That's why we are actively expanding our network of supporters and volunteers to scale our efforts and drive more significant, lasting change."
