we believe.
At valo we are committed to guiding teens as they seek to create authentic relationships in our increasingly digital world.
Once these youth experience the power of being in community, and their vast capacity for connection, we challenge them to go out and make the world a better place.
Our circle is open to every race, gender, sexuality, ability, religion, and background.
our retreats.
We take teens from all walks of life on retreats. In this space, they are eager to open up and uncover what matters most. For them, it’s pretty simple—sustained, unplugged, face-to-face connection. A sense of belonging.
valo in you.
Valo aims to be a hub of inspiration for teens and adults. We spread the word through our podcast, embers, and blog, kindling.

Want a little valo in your life?
Head over to our podcast, embers, for conversation and inspiration.
Embers is our podcast. A hub of inspiration for both teens and adults. Embers is a place where our teens share their stories as they navigate the waters between childhood and adulthood. We realize they've got a lot to teach us—what they hope for sounds good to us, too.
Join us as our teens explore timely and compelling topics—fanning the embers burning in each of us.
