Volo Kids Foundation

The Volo Kids story began in Baltimore City in 2015, in direct response to the civil unrest that erupted following the death of Freddie Gray, when the aim of the Volo Kids Foundation was to use sport as a tool for healing and a means of uniting communities. Partnering with City Council members, community organizers, and recreation centers, Volo Kids launched its first program — a single flag football league serving 78 kids — at Herring Run Recreation Center in Baltimore. Ten years later, Volo Kids is on a mission to build communities of active, resilient, and confident kids, with a vision to unlock the power of play for every kid, everywhere, providing free, quality youth sports programs that remove barriers like financial resources, transportation, and skill level. The Foundation has since expanded to 11 cities nationwide including Boston, Washington D.C., Denver, New York, San Diego, and San Francisco, hosting over 300 programs and serving thousands of kids, and was named an official charity partner for the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon and Marine Corps Marathon.
