What changed
On November 10, 2026, OpenAI Academy, in collaboration with Caregiver Action Network, Alzheimer’s Association, and American Diabetes Association®, is hosting the AI Skills Jam for Caregivers & Community Health. This free, in-person learning experience will take place in five U.S. cities during National Family Caregivers Month. The event aims to help caregivers use ChatGPT confidently, safely, and practically to manage daily tasks.
What this means in practice
The workshops will provide hands-on training for caregivers, including how to organize schedules, turn educational resources into plain-language materials, find community resources, and prepare support group discussion guides. Participants will also learn how to use AI responsibly, including protecting personal information and understanding the limitations of these tools. OpenAI facilitators and mentors will offer support throughout the event, and no coding or technical background is required.
Limitations and availability
The AI Skills Jam will be held in Oakland, California; Tampa, Florida; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Atlanta, Georgia; and Detroit, Michigan. The event is open to individual and family caregivers, caregiver support organizations, and people living with chronic or serious health conditions. OpenAI estimates that over 40 million weekly ChatGPT messages in the U.S. are about healthcare for someone else, highlighting the need for these resources. The workshops are part of OpenAI Academy’s broader initiative to make AI practical and accessible to everyone.
