A Code for America BrigadeOur Purpose
We “use the principles and practices of the digital age to improve how government serves the American public, and how the public improves government, where we live.” – Code for America

On a hunch we pulled in Code for Hampton Roads to see what they were all about. Two dozen hackers and 48 hours later, HRT Bus Finder was launched. Transit riders are still benefiting from the app today. That’s tangible value added to the cause of mobility!

Volunteering for Code for Hampton Roads helps me grow as a software developer while doing something good for my community, and I’ve learned more about how government works than I ever did in school.

Hire Us
Sometimes civic projects need dedicated resources for a short period. Some of our volunteers work on a freelance, contracted basis. Contact code4hr-team@codeforamerica.org to connect your civic projects with our members.
We’ve done two projects with the Code4HR team. They’re smart, which is what you’d expect. What sets them apart is they never lose sight of their ultimate goal — informing the community.
