Founded and headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland in 2010, Volo is a community based organization with more than 300,000 users across the US. Our users leverage Volo to organize, meet, communicate and play within their community through fitness and social activities. Whether it's a performance sport like soccer, or a social activity like cornhole, Volo provides something real. Real interaction, real activity, real fun, and real impact.

Volo creates free youth sports programs through adult social sports.

The aim of the Volo Kids Foundation was to use sport as a tool for healing and a means of uniting communities. To execute our vision we partnered with City Council Members, community organizers, and recreation centers to launch the first Volo Kids Foundation program at Herring Run Recreation Center. Volo Kids has since expanded to six cities across the country and is still growing.
