NYC 311 Data Jam Volunteer Form

For this year’s National Day of Civic Hacking event, a number of government organizations will collaborate to gather insights on how to improve NYC’s 311 data set. The Manhattan Borough President, Community Board members and district office staff, Mayoral agencies, and NYC’s civic hacking community will gather to develop insights and demystify data in the service of community decision making  - and we need volunteers to make it happen!

We look forward to working with you!
