What do teens think about AI?

Our Club teens shared their perspectives with @KCTV5 Sharon Chen, alongside Club Program Director Akilah Cherry.

Thanks, Sharon, for including their voices in this conversation!

What happens when teens turn to AI for more than homework help? Club teens recently sat down with KCTV5 to talk about how they use AI, where they draw the line & why real relationships still matter. 📺Watch the full story tonight @ 10 on KCTV5.

When young people feel seen, supported, and that they belong, they have the confidence to explore who they are, believe in what’s possible, and achieve their great future.

Every culture. Every story. Every experience matters.
