About Yoxi

At Yoxi (YO-see), we search for amazing people who work hard to change the world, and we connect them to new opportunities by telling their stories in the most creative, compelling ways. We call these people Social Innovation Rockstars (SIRs) because they are original thinkers, creative problem-solvers, and fearless leaders who care about creating lasting social value. The world needs them to have more visibility and influence, so we partner them with organizations that make their missions scale and help them reach a mainstream audience via compelling media campaigns
