Join us for our Civic Innovation Nights where we get together as a community, work on projects, and build the movement of using data, technology, and design for a better Buffalo!

It's tax season so we'll be getting together to discuss how we can contribute to Code for America's work with helping eligible households claim the Earned Income Tax Credit.

Learn more about the work on EITC: https://www.codeforamerica.org/news/the-power-of-cash

Everyone interested in how to get more civically engaged and working on projects - Welcome! We provide a safe space, wi-fi, and a group of great like-minded folks.

You can join any of our existing projects or come share your idea and maybe start a new collaboration.

Have fun and do good!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What do I need to know before showing up?

Please be familiar with and follow our Code of Conduct (https://github.com/codeforamerica/codeofconduct) in-person and online.

• Do I need to bring anything?

We highly recommend you bring a laptop if you need it for project work as Code for Buffalo does not currently provide any devices.

• Who is this event for? Do I need to be a coder?

No! We need civic hackers of all varieties. Healthy civic tech projects have software developers, designers, community partners, project managers/owners, testers, and need lots of help. We welcome you to contribute your expertise whatever it looks like.
