Hi,

I'm Rabia with Civic Tech Structure and Hack for LA. HfLA does onboarding approximately twice a month. At the beginning of our onboardings, we encourage people to volunteer locally.

We used to provide links to both Code for ALL and Code for America brigade lists. However, CfA has redirected the URL that used to point to a list of brigades https://brigade.codeforamerica.org/brigades/ to this page instead https://codeforamerica.org/programs/local-initiatives/.

In order to keep sending volunteers to their local organizations, we want to have an up-to-date list of brigade websites and meetup URLs and remove inactive brigades from the list, so that prospective volunteers don't waste their time.

We have assembled a spreadsheet with a list of Brigades in USA. Please reply if you know of any former CfA brigades that we missed, relevant local civic tech volunteering or other information that needs to be updated.

Thanks!
