One program, every team, eight weeks
You'll learn what AI is, how to use Claude (the AI assistant DC CAP uses) on your real work, and how to do it safely under DC CAP's governance. It starts with Week 0 and moves one week at a time — nothing is graded, and nothing is turned in.
Your first week
There's one place to begin. Everything else is light housekeeping you can do around it.
Week 0 — Get in, meet the machine
A guided half hour: get into Claude, get one real win on your own work, and see what a large language model actually is. No jargon, nothing to turn in.
Take the baseline assessment
A two-minute self-check, any time in your first week — it's the comparison point for how far you've come by Week 8.
Read & sign the Governance Acknowledgment
The one required step. It walks you through the data rules, then you check a box to say you've read them — and that turns on your Claude seat.
Two short Anthropic courses
Claude 101 and AI Fluency for Nonprofits — optional background you can take any time.
