We believe all young people deserve the opportunity to discover their passions and achieve their full potential. We invest in programs and partnerships that help kids build positive skills and mindsets in the communities where we live, work and play.
 

evo has always been oriented to a future of unforeseen possibility. It’s in our DNA. It’s even in our name, which was inspired by a commitment to building something better every single day.

But not everyone gets that same shot at a better future.

Millions of young Americans face an opportunity gap, with limited access to the support systems that lead to possibility. Safety. Education. Nutrition. Healthcare. Relationships.

There’s also a gap in access to the outdoors, which is proven to deliver measurable and lasting benefits to a young person’s mental and physical wellbeing.

There’s a gap in mentoring relationships, which are often the difference between a young person staying in school or dropping out, making healthy decisions or engaging in risky behavior.

So in keeping with our purpose – to ignite the adventurous spirit that lives within us all – we focus evo’s giving and volunteerism on organizations that serve youth in the opportunity gap, and particularly organizations committed to getting kids active, outdoors, and engaged in a positive mentoring relationship.

Our believe is simple: It's only a better future if it’s better for all of us.

We invite you to join us in the work of closing the gap, and opening the door to community, and to adventure.

Employee Programs:

For our employees we offer Volunteer Paid Time Off (VPTO), giving each employee an opportunity to help support the causes they are passionate about. We highlight organizations internally to open up doors to volunteer and offer networking opportunities for employees to easily opt in. We also provide an employee matching fund and will match employee donations up to $250 per year to the organizations of their choice. You can see highlights from volunteer and employee events below.
