ABOUT
Practical AI Learning for Impact Leaders
While AI is transforming Asia’s social sector, many organisations struggle to adopt the technology responsibly. AVPN bridges this gap by delivering practical learning programmes, accelerated training, and peer-led fellowships. The curriculum places ethics, hands-on application, and collaboration at the core, ensuring AI serves as a catalyst for inclusion, accountability, and sustainable social impact across the region.
Part of AVPN’s broader mission to Accelerate Social Impact through AI.
40% of AI investments
are linked to advancing one or more of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (McKinsey, 2024).
High-value donors demonstrate strongest support
for integrating AI within impact organisations (Charities Aid Foundation, 2024).
FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMME
AI for Good Fellowship
AVPN is launching the inaugural AI for Good Fellowship for Social Investors—a curated learning programme for mid-to-senior leaders across the social impact ecosystem seeking to move beyond AI awareness into practical, real-world organisational application.
Running from end June to September 2026, the Fellowship will support leaders in understanding how AI can be applied responsibly, effectively, and strategically in alignment with organisational mission and values. Rather than focusing on technical skills or AI tools, the Fellowship offers an applied, leadership-focused learning experience centred on organisational readiness, strategic decision-making, and responsible AI adoption. No prior AI background is required.
