I'm fortunate to support the Volo Kids Foundation as a member of the DC Advisory Fundraising board, but I've been touched by the foundation's mission for a long time and have been a donor for many years. As a parent, I have an added level of appreciation for a charity that makes an inclusive, safe, and healthy environment accessible to all children, and VKF does just that. They truly give so much back to the communities they serve, and the benefit is evident in the smiles on the faces of the children who get to play in the leagues and who know they have people cheering them on. Youth sports, and the positive impact of having trustworthy coaches and a healthy, encouraging team atmosphere, can change a child's life - I know they changed mine! I'm grateful that the Volo Kids Foundation makes it possible for any child to have this experience without any barriers to entry. I couldn't be prouder to be associated with this nonprofit and to continue supporting its mission.
It is an honor to serve on the DC Advisory Board for Volo Kids Foundation. The team here is dedicated to providing quality programming for kids and always striving to improve, building meaningful partnerships within the community and reach more kids.
I had such an amazing time volunteering for the Volo Kids Foundation! Soccer has always been a passion & love of mine, it was truly an amazing experience getting to spark that same love within the youth of Baltimore City! My favorite memory is seeing the children of my program every week and their faces light up every time they saw me, eager and ready for the practice ahead! Go Volo Kids!!!
Volo Kids is an exceptional nonprofit organization with a clear, mission-driven focus on making a positive impact in the community. The dedication to providing accessible sports programs for children, fostering teamwork, and promoting physical and social development is truly inspiring. I am proud to play a small role in contributing to a meaningful cause that brings joy, growth, and opportunities to so many young lives across my city of San Diego and in all of our program cities.
The Volo Kids foundation is EVERYTHING! As a member of the board, I have had the privilege of observing the tremendous impact this organization has on the lives of children and communities.

Volunteering and working with the Volo Kids Foundation is an amazing and rewarding experience. The foundation helps children to develop athletic skills as well as life skills. I would 100% recommend donating to, volunteering with, and advocating for the Volo Kids Foundation at any chance you get.
I loved volunteering with the Kids in Denver. I coached 2 soccer programs, spring and summer. I also coached 1 basketball program in the fall. Getting to know and work with the kids as individuals and watching them grow in skill and confidence is incredibly rewarding! I love working with an organization who's holistically believes in supporting their local community through sports.
It is such a rewarding opportunity to volunteer with the Volo Kids Foundation. The children grow in their selected sports, but also socially as they make new friends. It is amazing to see their little faces glow when they learn a new skill or score their first basket/goal.
The best thing about Volo Kids is knowing how much they help the community they are in. More than opening up opportunities for the kids to discover new skills, and meet new friends, it also does that for the parents. As a parent myself, I see that school pickup and dropoff are many times the only avenues for parents who cannot afford paid extracurriculars to socialize and network and that could be hard because you might not know if your kid and which of their classmates they get along with, or share interests with. On top of that, most times drop off and pickup only allows for a quick hello and goodbye. Volo Kids provides another way for us to connect and that human to human contact is important.
As a volunteer I have heard parents thank us for the programming and I have seen parents gather on the side sit on a picnic blanket and connect while their kids are learning soccer skills. We need more of this.
Baltimore Volo Kids Foundation is a great way to be active with the community. Volo Kids Foundation is a place where you always see a child smiling, blue shirts and a lot of support.
I can't say enough good things about what the Volo Kids Foundation is doing to get kids into sports - and the best part is, it's free for parents and caregivers! Having grown up playing sports myself, I know firsthand just how much of an impact they can have on a kid's life. It's amazing to see how the Volo Kids Foundation is breaking down financial barriers and making sure every child gets a chance to play, learn, and grow through sports. The way they combine sports with mentorship really hits home for me, because I know the coaches and teammates I had growing up helped shape who I am today. What really makes Volo Kids special is how they're not just teaching kids how to play sports - they're helping them build confidence, friendships, and life skills that will stick with them forever.
The benefits that sports provide are soo important to the development of our youth. Volo Kids breakdown these barriers to entry by providing FREE sports!!!! (CRAZY RIGHT?) That's why i'm a donor, I believe in their mission and the services that they are providing to the communities.
Volunteering with Volo Kids is my favorite way to spend a Saturday. It’s so rewarding watching the kids grow and learn week after week, month after month.
Love helping the kids in this program. It's incredible to see the growth from each participant over the duration of each program.
The Volo Kids Foundation is an incredible organization whose impact can be seen on the smiles on the faces that play in kids programs! They do an amazing job of providing the kids with a safe space to learn and play and truly make our communities better.
Active Social Communities is an amazing organization. They give back to their community in the form of free kids sports programs.
I have been volunteering since 2019 and it’s my favorite part of my week. Helping kids grow and learn more about sports has been so rewarding.
Kids are eager to play, learn and just get outdoors.
The best part about Volo Kids is that all programs are 100% free to families. Making it accessible to all families.
Volunteering with Volo Kids was the best part of my week! I miss getting to get outside with the kids and do something I love - coach! 10/10 recommend volunteering with this foundation.
I've had the great opportunity to volunteer with the Volo Kids Foundation by getting photos and videos, and the way you can tell how much heart goes into all they do to provide phenomenal free sports programming to the kids in the community. The way all the staff lights up when they're playing and teaching with the kids is truly one of the most heartwarming things to see!
I have been a coach with Volo Kids for 5 seasons now. It is such an amazing opportunity to connect with the community and inspire the next generation of athletes.
I have volunteered twice for Volo here in Boston and both times have been an amazing experience. Everything is well organized and put together. Jeff does an awesome job making sure everyone has a role and all of the children are having fun. I’m looking forward to the next volunteering session next month!
I love volunteering with Volo Kids. To see the kids looking forward to the sport of their choice every week and watch them grow as individuals both in sports and life is so rewarding.
To be a part of the volunteering community was the best choice I made in 2022. The kids definitely appreciated the time put in to teach them team sports and learn the true meaning of teamwork. Not only that, they got to gain experience with something they may have never thought they would play in. It was also a great opportunity for me to grow when it came to teaching the kids new sports and even grow a lot more with patience (lol). It became very endearing when the kids would see you coming and shout "Hey it's Coach Josh"! I can't wait to jump back in the ring for the Summer volunteering and have no problem telling others how rewarding it truly is to hang out and coach in the programs we offer.
Any sport that I have been a part of volunteering for Volo Kids has been such a great experience not only for the kids but for me as well. It has taught me a lot about how people learn, grow, and interact with one another. It has been so much fun watching the kids grow from not knowing the sport at all and not really wanting to play it to actively looking to get better. My favorite part is seeing them be excited about something they did and that's when their true personality comes out.
I have really enjoyed volunteering with Volo Kids Washington DC. The coaches and players have just as much fun playing each week (especially when one of our coaches was intercepted in flag football). It’s been the most rewarding to see the players’ confidence grow from the start of the programs and their willingness to try new skills by the end. Volo Kids DC is great for kids in the area because it offers a huge variety of locations, times (including after school programs), and sports to play. Can’t recommend enough!
I’ve been volunteering at this nonprofit for almost a year now. From the locations and attitude of the organizer, everything is so well done. The kids all come to each event I’m in all excited, the volunteers are splendid to work with. I will continue to do so and hope many others can join as well.
Volunteering this spring at the kids soccer program at LoPresti was such a rewarding experience! It’s so exciting to see the kids making friends each week, building new relationships and inviting their classmates to join them because they are having so much fun being active. I’m looking forward to another great season of volunteering
I have been volunteering with Volo Kids for almost a year, and it has been really awesome! The kids are really fantastic, and always bring so much energy and enthusiasm, and are so excited each week.
It's really rewarding to see them improve their skills, but also gain confidence in something new that they might be trying for the first time. Sports were, and still are, an integral part of my life and identity, and it's great to see a program like this in the Boston community that can open those same doors of connecting with others through sport.
Volo Kids is an amazing organization to be a part of. Volo Kids is helping kids play 100% free sports and all parents need to worry about is just showing up. The smiles, laughters and high fives are what keeps me around with the foundation and I can not wait to see Volo Kids grow in the future!
I have been volunteering with Volo for 3 years and it is such a great organization. The kids that are involved are amazing kids and the coaches make those genuine connections with them which are held so close to the heart. The leaders of the organization are awesome people and want the best for every community in Boston. Volo makes my day 10x better, always.
Volunteering with Volo Kids was such an amazing experience! Being part of an organization that provides free sports to kids means so much to me. Growing up, sports were a huge part of my childhood and has paved the path I am on today! What a great nonprofit!
I've volunteered with Volo Kids for three season and I'm signed up for a fourth. I can see how much the kids love the chance to play sports. The opportunity and consistency that Volo Kids sports provide is thoroughly appreciated by the participants and their parents. It's a delight to see how much the coaches care and the smiles they put on the kids' faces. Thank you everyone (volunteers and staff alike) for all the hard work you do!! Let's keep inspiring kids to believe in themselves, build skills, and stay active.
Volo kids allows kids to try new sports and activities and learn without the pressure of performing or being competitive
Volo Kids is a great foundation to volunteer with! The kids are always so excited to be out on the fields learning and working on their new skills. Also it is nice when the kids start remembering you and are excited to see you every week.
The Volo Kids Foundation is everything any child would need, without the worry of financial burden, time and location on the parents. It allows for kids to be active and engage with fellow peers, all while learning sport and life lessons. Seeing a program like this be incorporated into our communities makes me soo happy, as this wasnt an option for most youth growing up.
