How is Ktown Team different from a neighborhood council?

Neighborhood councils are official city advisory bodies with elected positions and formal advisory roles to city government. Ktown Team is an independent nonprofit with a broader scope - it builds digital infrastructure, runs community programs, conducts research, and advocates for policy change. The two can work together; Ktown Team's founder has served on a neighborhood council. The key difference is that Ktown Team creates its own tools and infrastructure rather than operating within existing city structures.
