OneJax is pleased to announce that we have become a partner organization of the Charter for Compassion ,
This is a movement that transcends religious, ideological, and national difference. Supported by leading thinkers from many traditions, the Charter activates the Golden Rule around the world. Not simply a statement of principle, the Charter is, above all, a summons to creative, practical and sustained action to meet the political, moral, religious, social and cultural problems of our time.
Through education, community building and advocacy, OneJax hopes to make Northeast Florida a better place for everyone by celebrating differences and identifying all we have in common.
Our core programs include:
- Project Breakthrough, an initiative to change the story of race in Jacksonville. OneJax is a partner, with the Jacksonville Human Rights Commission, the Community Foundation in Jacksonville and the Aspen Institute in this effort
- Metrotown, an intensive, week-long teen diversity program
- LOUD (Leaders of United Diversity), where Metrotown graduates bring the message of respect and appreciation for religious, racial and cultural differences into their schools
- Interfaith and Community Forums, periodic forums for public dialogue on diversity and tolerance issues
- Advocacy, working to promote issues of importance to the OneJax mission
