Code for America was born out of the idea that government can work for the people, by the people, in the digital age.

We started with fellowships, bringing technical expertise to local governments to help them break through some of their toughest challenges. Over the years, we grew into the country’s leading civic tech nonprofit, partnering with government at all levels across the country to build digital tools, change policies, and improve programs. We use human-centered technology to improve public services and make government work well for everyone.
