Giveback Program: How It Works

Five Steps from Coaching Hours to Community Impact

The giveback program is simple by design. Here's exactly what happens from start to finish:

1
Complete 12 hours of paid coaching
That's 12 sessions at Tier 1, or 8 sessions at Tier 2. Hours can span any plan — they accumulate over time.
2
Nominate a nonprofit
Choose any eligible organization — a school, library, food bank, community action agency, tribal organization, or 501(c)(3) in your county or nearby. See the eligible organizations list.
3
I reach out and schedule
I contact the organization, explain the program, and schedule a session — either with a staff member, a small team, or whoever they designate.
4
The free session happens
The session covers AI basics, one real workflow they can use immediately, and a resource list to keep. Same quality as any paid coaching session.
5
Optional: You attend as a mentor
You can sit in on the nonprofit session if you want — it deepens your own learning and lets you see the skills you've built in a new context.

The Giveback Calculation

You complete 12 hours of paid coaching (in any tier), and I deliver one free session to the organization you nominate. Every coaching plan includes at least one nonprofit session as a bonus.
