About

Code for Nashville is Nashville, Tennessee's Code for America Brigade. We are volunteers who collaborate with community groups (including activists, nonprofits, and government) to promote open data and build civic apps to fight inequity and improve people's lives.

We are a growing organization and need members with all types of (technical and non-technical) skills.

The best way to become involved is to attend our next hack night.
