About the call
At a time we are so connected, why do so few people know their neighbors? We're answering this question at VillageCo, and reimagining the idea of a "third space". In this call we covered the brief history of Village, our Village Gathering Model, and co-learning project to deploy and study this model in neighborhoods across the country.
About Jason
Jason Sears is a community builder, a calling that slowly came into being over decades of work in nonprofits. From after school programs to science museums, disability rights to cancer research, Jason has built communities around causes, rallying thousands and raising millions. More recently he started a new kind of nonprofit, one with a focus on connections rather than causes. Jason lives in Boise and Seattle, traveling between them frequently with his dog Daisy.
Jason is also an advisor for our Second Renaissance Project.
