Resources
Organizing a Brigade? We've got you covered.
Over the past five years, our community has learned a lot about what works when organizing a Brigade. We’re excited to help you build a sustainable, civic hacking group in your community.
Here are some resources to help you get started:
Organizer’s Playbook
The Playbook gives practical advice and real examples on starting and running a sustainable Brigade.
It includes: guidance on hosting hack nights, building a core team, and practicing user-centered design.
Organizer’s Handbook
The Handbook points to the resources that CfA offers Brigades and how to take advantage of them.
It includes: how to get set up on Meetup, how to use Expensify, and information about the National Advisory Council (NAC).
Software for Brigades
Learn about the software that vendors have donated for Brigades to use.
