​Tech Buffalo and their NYC-based partners Decoded Futures (an initiative of Tech:NYC) and Welcome to Chinatown are seeking technologist volunteers to collaborate with Buffalo-based nonprofits and small business leaders as they build AI-enabled solutions to real organizational challenges.

​Through an eight-hour day of programming, community leaders are paired with technologist mentors for hands-on learning and guided prototype development, walking away with workflows, prototypes, and skills they’ll apply beyond the day.

• ​Virtual Orientation: Wednesday, November 4, 2026 | 12:00–1:00 PM

​Who We’re Looking For:

• ​AI Enthusiasts: You’re comfortable with AI tools; coding not required, but computational thinking is essential.

• ​Problem Solvers: You thrive in ambiguity and love a challenge.

• ​Buffalo-Based Professional: You’re based in Buffalo and/or able to attend all day in-person.

• ​Community Builders: You’re dedicated to collaborating with nonprofits to strengthen the social sector
