About Civic Issue Finder

Connecting developers with meaningful civic tech opportunities

The Civic Issue Finder helps connect developers, designers, and civic innovators with open source projects that make a difference in communities. Inspired by Code for America's original civic issue finder, this tool aggregates GitHub issues from civic tech projects to help you find ways to contribute.

Why Civic Tech?

Civic technology bridges the gap between government services and public needs, making services more accessible, efficient, and user-friendly. By contributing to civic tech projects, you can:

Make a direct impact on how people interact with government services
Join a community of civic-minded technologists
Build your portfolio while working on meaningful projects
Help make public services more efficient and accessible
