Have you ever had an idea to solve an issue in your community? 



GiveBackHack is the next step. GiveBackHack starts with a weekend-long event to serve as your launchpad for social innovation. The goal is to bring together community leaders, designers, developers, and other concerned citizens to create solutions that will help make a lasting social impact.



Friday, passionate community members (that's you!) pitch innovative ideas to solve the most pressing social issues in Cleveland. Saturday, participants form teams and build upon an idea for a sustainable, technology-based social enterprise. Sunday night, teams will pitch their business plan to a panel of judges for the opportunity to earn funding, mentorship and other resources to move forward with their solution.
