Job description

Founded and headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland in 2010, Volo is a community based organization with more than 250,000 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.

What’s Volo Kids?

Volo Kids provides free organized sports for the kids across 12 different cities. Our programs remove barriers to athletic participation such as gender, skill, and financial resources while bringing different communities together.

We recruit young professionals from the local sports leagues to volunteer with our youth sports programs as coaches and positive role models who encourage the kids to become healthy, physically active and positively involved in our community.

Volo is a movement—for people and by people who want to connect more meaningfully with each other. We are a grassroots uprising, helping others actually see who they’re connecting with, and share experiences over the length of a season.

If you have a desire to make a difference through community and sports, Volo could be your next and final career destination. Come fly with us.

What’s This Internship All About?

As the Program & Non Profit Operations Interns you will be working directly with our talented and knowledgeable team to assist with day to day program operations, including customer service, data management, coaching, partner relations as well as development and fundraising.

Training will include an overview of equipment ordering, storage management, sales, operations and finance. Upon completion of the internship, our interns will have the knowledge necessary to launch their career. Previous interns have gone on to work with fortune 500 companies, large charities, professional sports teams as well as pursued full time roles within Volo.
