About Civify
Civify is a student-led organization with a mission of promoting digital & AI literacy and combating online misinformation. We host free educational workshops across the Bay Area, which equip attendees with the skills they need to navigate the ever-changing online world. As technologies like generative AI become more and more widespread, it becomes increasingly important to learn how to use digital tools effectively and critically evaluate online information.
Our Values
Community
We believe that digital safety is a collective effort built through grassroots education.
Critical Thinking
We empower individuals to question sources and verify information in the AI age.
Accessibility
We ensure AI literacy tools are available to everyone, regardless of technical background.
Integrity
We are committed to providing unbiased, research-backed education on digital literacy.
Our Story
Civify began in 2025 as a small student initiative at a local high school, sparked by a simple observation: while artificial intelligence was rapidly changing how we receive information, many communities were being left behind without the tools to navigate this new landscape. We saw firsthand how AI-generated misinformation could target the most vulnerable among us.
Our free workshops aim to teach attendees how to handle the growing problem of online misinformation in the age of artificial intelligence. You will learn evidence-based methods to fact-check suspicious claims, identify AI-generated content, and other important digital literacy skills. After attending, you will be able to adapt confidently to emerging technologies and critically evaluate online information!
