ABOUT US

Yojoa is a not-for-profit organisation recognised as being in the public interest. We work to create a society where everyone can reach their full potential based on their skills, and where businesses see diversity as an asset, not a problem.

Since our inception in March 2020, we have been accelerating the professional inclusion of young people from migrant backgrounds and those with refugee status. Why are we doing this? Because we believe that embracing diversity is a lever for collective intelligence and performance, and that it makes us a better society.

We work at the individual level by providing personalised support to young people, at the level of companies and organisations by helping them to address issues of diversity and inclusion, and at the level of society by contributing to the public debate on these issues.
