Service-year program for technologists selects five cities (Boston, Boulder, Philly, DC, Seattle), recruits 362 applicants and hires 23 fellows who relocate to the Bay Area, get a crash course in city government, and must design, build and launch a reusable civic app in under six months for very low pay. Program incubates Civic Commons for DC. A Center for American Progress survey finds 62% of Millennials want a strong government, +14 and +21 percentage‑point gaps on confidence and preferred involvement.
