Valo Programs
Retreats that empower youth
Valo is a retreat-based program for youth that supports their wellbeing in an unplugged setting with a circle of peers and trusted adults. Through conversation, time outside, cooking, creating, play, and moments alone, teens experience a deeper sense of themselves and true connection, allowing them to feel grounded and to know that they matter.
our ways of being: curiosity • openness • vulnerability • connection
