We’re looking for up to 16 engineers, computer scientists, and other technologists to join us as fellows in January 2025.
We award $500 to someone who refers a veteran or transitioning service member, underrepresented person of color, woman, or nonbinary individual to the fellowship.
We are excited to highlight our June 2023 Fellows and their placements in Congress!
Chris Riley, senior fellow of internet governance at the R Street Institute, references TechCongress in his op-ed in Protocol:
The TechCongress program, which places technologists as full-time staff in the House and Senate, has had a huge impact on the legislative process.
PIT-UN at New America interviewed TechCongress founder Travis Moore about the program:
Public interest technology practitioners have myriad opportunities to get involved and change the world. One such opportunity—as a TechCongress fellow—takes candidates right to the top, placing them with offices in the United States Congress. Recently, PIT UNiverse editor-in-chief Karen Bannan sat down with the organization’s founder, Travis Moore to discuss what TechCongress is, why it matters, and how people can apply to be part of the next cohort.
ProFellow published an interview with 2019 TechCongress Fellow Emily Paul:
TechCongress is building a 21st-century government with technology talent through its Congressional Innovation Fellowship. For one year, starting in January, Fellows work with TechCongress to choose a placement with a Member of Congress or Congressional Committee and report directly to a senior staffer (like a Chief of Staff or Staff Director). Fellows also develop and produce a fellowship project on an issue of their choosing. Fellows have at least four years of work or postgraduate study.
