About Code for Israel

Code for Israel is the nation's largest volunteer tech ecosystem, bridging innovation and national impact by bringing together experts across software, product, design, and operations to take on real social and civic challenges through technology.

Our vision

Israel knows how to build some of the world's most advanced tech companies — but doesn't always direct those capabilities to where they're needed most: public service, local authorities, nonprofits, education, health, personal security, and social initiatives. Code for Israel closes that gap.

How we do it

Multidisciplinary volunteer squads, tailored solutions, a design-partner model, and full concept-to-deployment delivery.

Leadership

Co-founded by Yasmin Lukatz and Idan Roll, with a core team spanning project management, operations, community, partnerships, impact, and finance.
