Our story

Who We Are

VOX Equity Think Tank

Research for equity, driven by community.

VOX Equity is a student-led research and policy think tank that translates lived experience, academic scholarship, and community priorities into actionable outputs. We produce literature reviews, policy briefs, data visualizations, and manuscripts in preparation — all grounded in the communities we serve.

Our work sits at the intersection of health equity, public policy, and systems-level change. Every project is designed to move from evidence to impact.

Voices of Equity Parent Organization

The movement behind the mission.

Voices of Equity (VoE) is the parent organization of VOX Equity. Founded to amplify underrepresented voices in health and public life, VoE builds the pipeline of student advocates, researchers, and changemakers who go on to power think tanks, policy teams, and community organizations.

VOX Equity is the research arm of this larger movement — the place where curiosity meets rigor, and where student scholarship becomes public-facing impact.
