TORONTO JAM ALUMNI APP

Thank you for your interest in returning to the Toronto Jam! As you know, this event is intimate and personal, and we want to hear where you’re at today. Just as was the case last time, don’t worry about grammar and spelling, and please share only as much as you feel comfortable sharing. There is no minimum or maximum length for responses. We will follow up with you if we need more information.

And please keep in mind that as much as we’d love to have everyone back, we want to make this experience available to as many interested people as possible, which may mean we are unable to accommodate some alums.

Once again, only the leadership team will have access to your application. All of your answers, including your name and basic info, will be kept in full confidentiality.

Note: We encourage you to cut-and-paste your answers to this application into a word doc, BEFORE you hit the submit button, as we are occasionally experiencing some technical difficulties with this contact form.  Once you have received confirmation from us that we received your application, then you can go ahead and delete the word doc. Thank you!

    Costs of Attending

    The Jam is offered on a sliding scale of $450-$1,200, with the at-cost price being $850.

    Breaking down the $850, $650 covers food and lodging (4 nights and 11 meals), and $200 covers accessibility (eg: childcare), supplies, and honoraria for the organizers and facilitants.

    We invite you to give what you/your organization can, and to give generously. Any amount above the at-cost amount of $850 helps us provide scholarships to support the broad spectrum of participation on which this event thrives.

    We never want money to be a barrier, so we will do everything we can to make it work for you to attend. We can also create a monthly payment plan that works for you.
