Giving Tuesday: Why AI Literacy Matters More Than Ever for Our Children
By Break The Cycle 757
Today, on Giving Tuesday, we invite you to pause and consider a powerful truth:
The future will belong to the children who understand technology, and right now, far too many of our children are being left behind.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is shaping every part of our world. It’s changing how we work, how we learn, how we communicate, and how we generate income. Yet in underserved communities, especially in Black and low-income neighborhoods, most children are not being taught how AI works or how it can completely change the trajectory of their lives.
This is why Break The Cycle 757 is stepping into the gap.
🌟 Why We Created the AI Literacy Program
We launched our AI Literacy Program with one goal in mind:
To break generational cycles of poverty by giving children the skills needed for the world that exists today, not the world of yesterday.
Our youth deserve the same access, the same opportunities, the same tools, and the same preparation as children in affluent communities. AI is not a luxury; it is the new language of success.
Through our program, students learn:
What AI is and how it works
How to use AI safely and responsibly
How to create digital content and income streams
How AI will shape future jobs and industries
How technology can help them build generational wealth
This program is not just about computers, it is about confidence, access, equity, and survival in a changing world.
💛 Why Giving Tuesday Matters for This Program
Today, your donation directly fuels:
Tech workshop materials
Youth AI starter kits
Software and learning platforms
Hands-on group classes
Digital safety and emotional intelligence coaching
Access to life-changing tools many families cannot afford
When you give to Break The Cycle 757, you aren’t donating to a program,
you are investing in a child’s future.
You are helping a young person:
Dream bigger
Learn faster
Earn smarter
Break cycles
Shift their cultural mindset
Step into the future with confidence
🚀 The Digital Divide Is Real but Together, We Can Close It
The digital divide is not just about internet access.
It’s about choice.
Kids in underserved communities rarely get the chance to explore technology, coding, AI, robotics, engineering, or digital entrepreneurship. This lack of exposure widens the gap in:
Income
Education
Job opportunities
Leadership roles
Representation in STEM careers
But your Giving Tuesday donation helps us close this gap, one child at a time.
🌱 Your Gift Today Plants a Seed for Generational Change
Here’s what your gift can do:
$25 provides a child with AI learning tools

You are not just giving money.
You are giving access, education, equity, and empowerment.

As a community-powered organization, Break The Cycle 757 thrives because people like you believe in the power of opportunity.

Tools to thrive
