Program areas at Center for Technology and Civic Life

The Center educates the public about government and democracy in the united states, focusing particularly on local government. The Center does this by aggregating and disseminating detailed information about government, candidates for office, elected officials, and voting in the united states in easily accessible "datasets". These datasets include information that help the general public find basic information, including what is on their ballot and who represents them. These datasets are freely and universally available to the public.
Educate election officials on how to identify funding gaps in their departments and how to find opportunities to close the gap through leadership development and community building.
The Center's government services program educates government agencies about the skills, strategies, and tools to engage their citizens. This is accomplished through (1) written and multimedia materials, (2) providing expert consulting services to government agencies, and (3) in-person training seminars for local government agencies.
