This month, our teens share what it is like for them as they start a new school year in this time of COVID-19. They openly explore their thoughts, fears, hopes, and concerns as they look ahead. In
listening to their words, we hope to find ways we can stand alongside them...

the importance of listening

Embers is a place where teens share their stories as they navigate the waters between childhood and adulthood. Join us as they explore timely and compelling topics—fanning the embers burning in each of us.

Embers is a production of valo. We are an organization committed to guiding teens as they seek to create real connections in our increasingly digital world. We take teens from all walks of life on retreats. In this space, they are eager to open up and uncover what matters most. For them, it’s pretty simple—sustained, unplugged, face-to-face connection.
