Founder And Executive Director
Code for America believes that government can work for the people, by the people, in the 21st century. Our networks of change agents in government, civic hackers, and entrepreneurs are reinventing the relationship between citizens and their government.You can complain about how government works, or you can help fix it. Get involved by joining or starting your local Brigade (developers and those who've never coded are both welcome!), by applying for our year-long fellowship to work with a city, county or state around the country, or starting a company in the civic tech ecosystem. If you're local government and you're interested in getting involved, get in touch!
