The Valo Experience

Valo guides young people to cultivate emotional wellbeing.

 

In our programs, we create a space where teens from a cross-section of communities come together. In conversations, young people connect meaningfully with each other and tend to their emotional wellbeing.

 

The Valo experience includes unplugging from technology, connecting in person with peers, sharing meals, spending time alone, walking outside, and playing games.

 

When the young people leave, they carry what they have learned and go on to impact their communities beyond Valo.

The Valo Approach

Valo teens become emotionally resilient adults ready to meet a changing world.

 

They develop lifelong skills to:

  • communicate with authenticity

  • listen with compassion

  • act with intention

 

How? During our weekend retreats,

school programs, and conference workshops, Valo's experienced guides foster:

 

  • connection to self and others

  • empathy and understanding

  • a sense of belonging and mattering
