The Civic Hacker Network

MISSION The Civic Hacker Network exists to create and empower a globally connected community of people who are using data and technology to create positive social change. We amplify the work our membership is doing by providing a platform through which “civic hackers” can publicize their projects, collaborate, and get the support they need. STORY The Civic Hacker Network was created in the aftermath of the first annual Civic Hacker Summit.
