We’re putting the talent from the web industry to work solving the core problems facing our communities, and now, we’re looking for the next generation of tech-savvy civic leaders. Are you one of them?
> 
> Code for America is now accepting applications for its 2012 fellows program. If you’re a developer, designer, entrepreneur, analyst or researcher who wants to make a difference, this is your opportunity to build a new generation of Gov 2.0 apps to make city governments work better. Apply now.
