How to Follow Code for America's News and Events

Updated

Code for America (codeforamerica.org) is a nonprofit that works with government and communities across the country to improve public services. To follow its news and events, use the "Latest news" and "Upcoming Events" sections on its homepage, and sign up for its newsletter for updates. As of the site's current content, there are no upcoming events listed, so the newsletter is the most reliable way to stay informed.

Where to Find Updates on the Website

The homepage organizes updates into a few clear sections:

Section What it shows How to use it
Latest news Recent stories and organizational updates Read the latest items, then use "See more stories" to browse further
Upcoming Events Scheduled events Check the listing; the site currently states there are no upcoming events and suggests checking back soon
Our work Overview of the organization's focus areas Use "Learn more about us" and the "Our work" section to understand what the organization does

Reading the Latest News

Start with the "Latest news" section on the homepage. It highlights current stories, such as the organization's guidance for states navigating new Medicaid work requirements. Each item links to a fuller story, and "See more stories" leads to additional coverage. This is the fastest way to see what the organization is currently focused on.

Checking Upcoming Events

The "Upcoming Events" section lists scheduled events. The site currently notes that there are no upcoming events and advises checking back soon. Because event listings change, treat this section as the place to confirm whether anything is scheduled rather than assuming a recurring calendar exists.

Subscribing to the Newsletter

The site explicitly recommends signing up for its newsletter for updates, especially when no events are posted. The newsletter is the most dependable channel for new stories, event announcements, and organizational news. Look for the newsletter signup prompt near the events section.

What You'll Learn by Following

Following the organization's updates gives you visibility into its people-centered approach: using technology thoughtfully to break down barriers in government services. Recent homepage content, for example, covers guidance for states implementing Medicaid work requirements—useful context if you want to understand how the organization translates its mission into practical resources.

Practical Tips

  • Check "Latest news" first for current stories; use "See more stories" to go deeper.
  • Treat "Upcoming Events" as the authoritative event list, and expect it to be empty at times.
  • Sign up for the newsletter so you don't have to rely on checking the page for announcements.
  • Use the "Our work" and "Learn more about us" links to connect news items to the organization's broader projects.
