The Jar
With joy, with love. There is so much possibility for change.
"Living in a diverse city doesn't necessarily mean that you interact with a diverse population -- The Jar makes that possible," Courtland Townes III (a Jar Convener).
The Jar utilizes a Convener Model which invites you to actively build a diverse and vibrant community. As a Convener, you’ll purchase a Jar of tickets for $60 – that’s 6 tickets at $10 each. You’ll then invite:
- Your partner or other close friend
- 2 people you would normally experience culture with
- 2 people you wouldn’t normally experience culture with – people who may not look like you, pray like you, love like you, earn like you, etc. While these can be people you know – like an acquaintance, neighbor, or colleague – they are most importantly people you’d like to know better.
Together, the six of you gather to experience The Jar.
- "You are embraced in the fullness of your humanity," Keith Jones
- "Sharing, caring and hugs," LaTasha Sarpy
- "A breath of fresh air," Eman Ansari
- "A buzz of getting to know new people," Carlos Rojas Alvarez
