But for far too many, the process of navigating America’s social safety net makes it difficult to obtain and keep these benefits.

Government can and should work well for everyone. We're people-centered problem solvers showing that it's possible.
About us
Code for America is committed to building a team as diverse as the nation we serve. We’re made up of people-centered problem solvers: technologists, advocates, storytellers, and organizers from many different backgrounds and communities around the country. We merge the best parts of technology, nonprofit, and government. We believe government at all levels can and should work well for everyone— and the mindful use of technology makes it possible. We’re known for building digital tools, but the work doesn’t stop there. We seek to transform government by showing what’s possible when communities are included in policy and service design. We use insights and ideas from real people to guide us to real solutions that break down barriers to meet community needs and improve government in meaningful ways. Want to use your skills for good and help us drive change that lasts? Join our team!
