Jack Madans

Jack Madans cut his teeth as a community organizer early on when he founded the pilot project "FoodCycle" while studying at the London School of Economics. Under Madens' leadership FoodCycle served 200 three-course meals a week at the cost of 50 cents per meal, and has grown to now serving 3,000 meals. While interning at the White House, he assisted with policy production in the the Office of Urban Affairs and outreach to the nation's mayors in the office of Intergovernmental Affairs. Madans founded the "Digital Citizens Project," a group of techno-progressives that build tools, share concepts, and aggregate individuals to collectively use technology in the public interest. He earned a degree in Political Science from UC Berkeley where he was President of the Roosevelt Institute's local chapter.
