Yoxi (www.yoxi.tv) is seeking hard working, motivated, creative and resourceful interns to work with our team on program development, video production, web design, social media, marketing and event production.

Yoxi (YO-see) is a creative competition to discover big ideas and bright stars in social innovation. Taking on topics from education to energy, teams of passionate problem-solvers battle to deliver the best solutions to social issues. Teams show their ideas in videos, judges weigh-in and an audience comments and votes online. The winning team scores start-up funds, industry connections and mentoring so they can make their idea a reality.

Editorial Intern:

The Yoxi Editorial Intern will support the editorial team with deep and vast research of social issues/social innovation, writing across a variety of deliverables and assorted highly interesting tasks (including ping pong and darts, if you don’t waste time on the Interwebs).

* Background in Journalism or English preferred but not required

* Excellent research abilities across major media sites, niche blogs and the Twitterverse; great skill at summarizing research in presentable manner

* Can tell a story in WordPress, using Keynote, via multimedia, or a simple tweet
