VALO, founded in 2019, is a small nonprofit in the Youth Development sector that reported $535K in total revenue in fiscal year 2024. Revenue surged 85% from the prior year, signaling strong growth momentum.

Mission

We believe in the power of teens to build community, one meaningful connection at a time. We believe in teens' capacity to discover who they are, what they believe, and their ability to bring light and love to the world. Valo creates spaces where teens can get away from it all, feel independent, unplug, and have fun. A place of belonging for youth to have deep conversations and feel empowered as they ignite a future with hope.
