About

Our Mission 

We use tech, data, and design as a mode of civic engagement. We’re making Philadelphia into the city we know it can be by bringing together a community of people dedicated to using their talents to improve their home, and themselves. 
Founded in 2012, Code for Philly is currently an independent organization and member of the Alliance of Civic Technologists. Code for Philly currently hosts a monthly Meetup, regular hackathons and acts as an incubator for civic apps across the city. 

How 

  1. Make technology accessible to government, nonprofits, and community organizations by putting topical experts and technologists in conversation with one another and facilitating technology and data literacy.
  2. Create civic engagement and learning opportunities by leveraging open data with technology applications.
  3. Provide a collaborative space for participants of varying expertise and skill-levels to co-create civic improvements ranging from exploratory concepts and ideas to implementable products.
  4. Serve as a vehicle for the professional development of the Greater Philadelphia area’s students, scholars, technologists, civic activists, urbanists and planners in addition to serving as a well of human capital for institutions seeking such individuals.  
  5. Improve the Greater Philadelphia Area today with citizen-driven ideas, projects and civic technology tools that lay a foundation for greater change in the future.
