[image: Civic Tech Leadership social media banner BLUE NOLOGO.png] <https://civictechleaders.org/> Hello CfA friends and members, Do you have an idea for solving a social problem using technology? Would you like to pitch your idea to leading experts, investors and policymakers? Here’s your chance. The National Democratic Institute <https://www.ndi.org/> and Stanford CDDRL <http://cddrl.fsi.stanford.edu/> are now accepting applications for an online competition and learning opportunity. The bilingual Civic Tech Leadership Program <http://civictechleaders.org/> will work with young leaders to develop their civic-tech ideas -- and participants with the best ideas will travel to Silicon Valley and Washington DC to meet with experts. Apply Now! <http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/2987982/347f1e9d74ca> (it takes less than 10 minutes) Watch the Teaser <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCeVCOHTsB0&feature=youtu.be> Who: Youth aged 20-30 from the Middle East, North Africa or the United States are eligible to apply. No technical skills are necessary -- just bring your imagination and commitment to social good. What: An online competition to present the most compelling civic-tech idea. Participants will work together in small teams to develop an idea and create a bilingual video pitch, with support from peers and expert mentors. Winners will travel to Silicon Valley and Washington, DC in 2017 to meet leaders in tech and policy. This free program is made possible through the generous support of the Stevens Initiative. When: Apply by October 7, 2016 at 11:59 PM EST. Where: Apply for the program here <http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/2987982/347f1e9d74ca>, or learn more at CivicTechLeaders.org <https://civictechleaders.org/>. How: The application asks you to describe, in one paragraph, a civic tech idea. (In addition to providing basic information about yourself.) You can gain inspiration from the Technology for Accountability Lab <https://lagunita.stanford.edu/courses/course-v1:Home+TFALab+2016/about>, a free Stanford Online course affiliated with this program. Why: To build 21st century skills like multimedia production and cross-cultural communication. To meet and collaborate with peers across the globe. To join a study mission to Silicon Valley and Washington. To kickstart your career in civic tech. What's the catch? There isn't one -- you just have to apply.
