>Who we are
>We are a network of people making government work for the people, by the people, in the 21st century. How do we get there? Government services that are simple, effective, and easy to use, working at scale to build healthy, prosperous, and safe communities.
>It takes a village. (Oh shit, Shillary)
>Thousands of people are raising their hands to help government work better for the people who need it most. Meet the people who use their skills for good.
>What we do
>Code for America uses the principles and practices of the digital age to improve how government serves the American public, and how the public improves government.
>Since 2011, we’ve worked with thousands of tech and design industry professionals to help hundreds of state and local governments serve their communities better. Now we're working with government to make the most of our tax dollars to help millions, starting with those who need it most.
>Toward the goal of a government that works for the people, by the people, in a digital age, Code for America:
>operates digital services that show what’s possible
>shares the principles and practices of delivery-driven government through in-person and online media and gatherings, and
>supports a citizen-driven movement.
>Learn more about principles and practices of delivery-driven government, the core of how we approach our work.
>How we do it
>We can help millions of underserved Americans by delivering a modern experience for government.
>For our government to truly serve the people in the 21st century, we must do three things:
>Be good at digital. Digital skills must be embedded at all levels of government, and owned by the people responsible for delivering programs and services to the public.
>Ensure policy and implementation work together, and are centered around the needs of the people. Linear processes, moving from policy, to implementation to stasis, must transform into iterative cycles where policy and implementation are informed by each other and are focused on people's needs.
>Be a platform for civic engagement and participation. Government must learn to incorporate productive contributions from the public, so that everyone can help make government work.
>We believe that Government can work for the people, by the people, in the digital age.
