Convivial Express

An exchange of gifts and talents, humanely made.

Convivial Express is a curated registry of labor arrangements — paid jobs, volunteer roles, swaps and exchanges, apprenticeships, and board positions — held to a shared standard of humane exchange. Every listing published here has been reviewed against the Make Love Public Bill of Rights, a public document that defines what decent work looks like and what it does not.

We are not a job board. We do not aggregate listings from the web. Every offering is submitted by an organization that has read the Bill of Rights, signed it, and agreed that the terms they describe are real — including the labor, the conditions, and the compensation. If an organization violates its posting, we want to know. That accountability is built into every listing.

We are beginning in Indianapolis. The city has an extraordinary amount of uncompensated, undercompensated, and mislabeled labor flowing through its philanthropic and civic sectors. We want to name that reality and offer a better alternative: clear terms, honest exchange, and the dignity of knowing exactly what you are walking into and what you will walk out with.
