The “Peace Corps for Geeks” Delivers Tech Solutions to Urban Problems - NPQ - Nonprofit Quarterly: Calling itself “the Peace Corps for Geeks,” the San Francisco–based nonprofit Code for America (CFA) is on a mission to help city government work better through technology. Since it was founded four years ago, the organization has set up a fellowship program and is sending teams of developers, activists, and policy planners to cities requesting their help.
As CFA proclaims on its website: “Code for America is a … new kind of organization. Our team is made up of web geeks, city experts, and technology industry leaders. We are building a network of civic leaders and organizations who believe there is a better way of doing things and want to make a difference.”
