We place computer scientists, engineers, and other technologists to serve as technology policy advisors to Members of Congress through our Senior Congressional Innovation Fellowship (our mid-career pipeline), the Congressional Innovation Fellowship (our early-career pipeline), and the Congressional Digital Service Fellowship. We bridge the divide of knowledge and experience between politics and tech for better outcomes for both.
We are bridging the divide between Congress and the technology sector by placing tech savvy candidates like you to work with Members of Congress and Congressional Committees in order to build capacity in Congress, train cross-sector leaders — who can understand the challenges of government and in the technology community — and keep Congress up to date about the latest challenges and opportunities relating to technology.
