Abstract
This paper presents AI for Community, a student-led initiative where high school students develop AI-powered solutions for sustainability. Starting with a biodiversity-focused Native Plant Awareness app, the initiative demonstrates the impactful intersection of technological innovation and environmental conservation. Building on this foundation, the initiative has expanded to address other sustainability challenges—such as ocean conservation and senior care, demonstrating how AI can drive both environmental and social impact.
