Ask HN: Code for America alternative?

4 points by aadilr 13y ago ↗ HN

I am interested in spending a year doing coding for humanitarian purposes and as the Code for America application process is closed for 2013, I am looking for alternatives. Doesn't necessarily have to be just like CFA or even in America, but I would like to spend a year getting better at coding while making the world a better place. Any suggestions?

I would be interested, but it seems like I would need to already have a team, is this true?
