At the heart of every thriving community are educators, nonprofit leaders, and workforce champions—individuals who show up every day to serve others with compassion and purpose. Today, we’re honored to introduce someone who has spent his career standing alongside them: Justin Spelhaug, the new President of Microsoft Elevate.
As Justin shared, “The AI era must put people first—not as a slogan, but as a plan.” That’s the heart of Microsoft Elevate’s mission: helping every classroom, changemaker, and community thrive by equipping them with the tools, skills, and support they need to navigate a rapidly evolving digital world.
Together, we’re building a future where AI strengthens institutions, expands opportunity, and uplifts those who serve others.
To learn more about Justin’s journey and his commitment to inclusive innovation, read his Day One message on Microsoft for Nonprofits LinkedIn. You can also follow Microsoft Elevate across our Microsoft Education, Microsoft for Nonprofits, and Microsoft AI Skills social channels for the latest stories and updates on how we’re helping every community thrive in the AI era.
