Code for America strives to improve how the government serves the American public, and how the public improves government. Founded in 2009 to address the widening gap between the public and private sectors in their effective use of technology and design through three high-impact focus areas: Criminal Justice, Social Safety Net, and Workforce Development.

Code for America’s top priority was building on and maintaining a high performing organizational culture to continue to attract, retain, and engage the talented people who enable it to deliver impact.
