Connect Knox is a community-centered initiative whose primary purpose is connecting people to people and new ideas, all to build a better Knoxville.
Currently, Connect Knox is focused on a Neighboring Movement to encourage everyone in our community to build genuine relationships where they live. The idea is simple: we are challenging all Knoxville neighbors to take a small step and truly get to know the people who live around them.
Connect Knox also hosts “The Big Table” which is designed to create dynamic spaces for people to connect across differences culturally, professionally, and geographically. Through unique dining and gathering experiences,
we can create authentic human connections and foster powerful conversations which we hope is the beginning of meaningful relationships.
What is Connect Knox?
A neighboring movement: Engaging people where there live.
Why are we doing this?
