With the rise of AI developments in recent years, many organizations and companies have been adapting to AI’s capabilities and what it means in the new era of technology.

Much of everyday life has now been impacted by AI, from going through a drive-thru to searching online. However, one organization seeks to make AI have the humanistic touch it needs to have a powerful impact globally with AI learning.

About Seeds of Success

Seeds of Success is a nonprofit organization that gives individuals who lack proper access to many resources the chance to gain steady support in many aspects of their lives. Most importantly, its outreach includes many mental health services to help the 50 million adults globally who face mental health challenges with no resources.

However, the charity’s support does not stop there! Through Seeds of Success’ Project CARLA, students can be introduced to learning opportunities using AI learning, regardless of their background.

Using AI Learning for Good

In an effort to flip the narrative around AI and education, Seeds of Success looks to develop AI learning algorithms with educators and students to better school communities globally. It seeks to use AI not to replace teachers, therapists or other vital supports, but to amplify teachers’ and other support workers’ outreach to their students and receivers.

The charity seeks to eliminate the unnatural AI algorithms that do not connect with individuals seeking mental health services today. Instead, its projects include the redefinition of AI and AI learning to engage students and troubled youth in the modern world around them.

AI for the People, by the People

The founder of Seeds of Success, Jarred VanHorn, has a personal mission with his AI learning redirection: to approach communities with a compassionate response to mental health and learning challenges to improve the quality of life.

VanHorn and Seeds of Success seek to accomplish this mission by ensuring that mental health and its various resources are not an afterthought for communities. With the support of numerous volunteers driving its global impact on AI learning, Seeds of Success aims to spread mental health and educational resources to all affected youth.

In the long term, the organization seeks to cultivate a culture shift around AI and learning that will positively influence the world. Indeed, the organization’s motto, “AI for the People, by the People,” reinforces the vision that VanHorn seeks to build around AI. Seeds of Success looks to a future where AI can transform the lives of students, youth and educators alike.

The Impact Over Time

Seeds of Success is calling for donor support to sustain its mission of helping others. Until now, the organization has been operating solely with volunteers. However, VanHorn recognizes that Seeds of Success could expand its impact significantly with greater resources.

With increased funding, the organization could extend its outreach through scholarships, mental health and wellness programs and the continued redefinition of AI learning. Looking to the future, Seeds of Success is working to impact a cultural change and positively implement AI learning in communities around the globe.
