STRUCTURE

Vox strives to nurture and inspire people to use their creative talent and link them with social causes. We offer engaging and thought-provoking events provide a great channel where people can make connections. People learn by seeing, doing, volunteering, and in the process, becoming a voice for some of Houston and the world’s social issues. We operate on a yearly format where a new cause is elected (by members of the Core Team) to begin every new calendar year. The highlighted issues that pertain to poverty and injustice are rotated every year in order to cover a variety and range of causes. In the process this allows us to reach our goal and raise awareness amongst the Core Team, artists, and the general public about poverty and injustice in Houston and to help our network understand the links between one issue and another. By seeing how different social issues are in fact related to one another, we seek to show our network the value of working together across platforms to produce change.

Within each calendar year, Vox has designed a holistic model that gives our audience the opportunity to learn and support one cause through varying experiences
