Townhalls builds AI resilience in local communities — one town, one room, one neighbor at a time.
“AI should be used to strengthen, not shatter, our connections to each other.”— Amanda Cheng, Townhalls Co-Founder
At Townhalls, we believe people come first, and the quiet happiness of everyday life is irreplaceable. We also believe that technological change brings the opportunity for life to get better. In the face of that opportunity, one must have the faith, capacity, and courage to make that choice count.
We do the work in the place where it matters most — the local community. We don’t try to fix the AI debate from above. Boots on the ground, real guidance to everyday folks on using AI resources safely and effectively. Everyone leaves a Circle informed, with a new app you built together. Use it. Solve a new problem. Empower yourself, empower your community.
The goal is simple: a country where every town is equipped to make its own decisions about AI and confident enough to act on them.
Two hours. Ten to twenty neighbors. Hands on the keyboard. Together we pick a real problem in your community and build something real that addresses it — and you take it home with you.
$20 standard · $5 for students & reduced-cost seats. New Jersey first.
Multi-session engagements for municipalities. We train your staff on AI, support your AI policy work, and co-design tools your town can actually use — and own.
Starting in New Jersey, headed everywhere next.
