Sports Make People Better
Sports level the playing field. They unveil our determination, perseverance and heart, pushing us to our limits, striving to be the best that we can be.
But we can’t play alone. Sports surround us with teammates, captains, coaches, teaching us teamwork, compassion, and how to express sportsmanship.
That’s why Volo believes sports make better humans, and deliver interactions to deepen our compassion for others. Through sport, we find our own humanity and perhaps, a new perspective. Volo’s mission is to create the opportunity for a fulfilled life through genuine communities and access to activity.
Volo strives to live out our mission through the Volo Kids Foundation. Originally founded in 2015 as a response to civil unrest in Baltimore, The Volo Kids Foundation was created to use sport as a tool for healing and a means of uniting communities. To execute their vision, they partnered with City Council members, community organizers, and recreation centers to launch the first Volo Kids Foundation program at Herring Run Recreation Center. Volo Kids has since expanded to eight cities across the country and is still growing!
The unique relationship between Volo and The Volo Kids Foundation creates a synergistic effect. As more players sign up to play in our adult programs, we can fund more youth programs. Those who volunteer with the foundation get to play for free in our adult programs, allowing for each organization to benefit from the other.
In 2022, Volo launched their membership program Volo Pass, which allows individuals to get active in their community on their own schedule while providing them with member exclusive discounts on those activities so they can participate more!
