RethinkAI brings together disparate partners to harness artificial intelligence for stronger communities. We work with governments, researchers, community organizations, and the public to drive artificial intelligence solutions that tackle persistent problems, shape policies that reflect community needs, and strengthen the relationship between public institutions and the people they serve. To accomplish this, RethinkAI mobilizes technical and local expertise to support pilots, activates regional and national networks, and provides tools and methods so that civic AI can address challenges such as affordable housing, environmental justice, and community safety.

Power Reimagined examines how the global energy transition is reshaping economic and geopolitical power. The initiative examines the intersection of climate change, industrial transformation, and financial systems to ensure a fair, equitable, and sustainable transition to clean energy. Focusing on climate finance, critical minerals, technology transfers, and industrial policy, we amplify Global South perspectives to inform policies that prevent power from concentrating in a few dominant actors. Through research, advocacy, and high-level dialogue, we seek to align climate ambition with climate justice worldwide.

Expanding youth apprenticeship is a strategy for building a more inclusive economy by connecting the learning needs of students with the talent needs of industry. The Partnership to Advance Youth Apprenticeship (PAYA) is a multi-year, collaborative initiative that supports states and cities in their efforts to expand access to high-quality apprenticeship opportunities as a mainstream postsecondary option for high school-age youth.

The Partnership convenes and mobilizes the expertise, experience, and collective networks of national, state, and regional partners to:

• Support place-based partnerships to employ their first apprentices by awarding select grants with customized coaching, technical assistance, and a peer learning community with fellow grantees;
• Facilitate learning, innovation, and wide-scale adoption of best practices through the PAYA Network, a learning community of over 90 youth apprenticeship partnerships; and
• Strengthen the case and evidence base for youth apprenticeship to raise awareness and to mobilize policy, action and investment.
