About

vo·li·tion

/vōˈliSHən/

noun

the faculty or power of using one’s will.


We believe a meaningful life cannot be manufactured for someone. It must be chosen.

Our work is built around a simple conviction: people flourish when they have genuine relationships, meaningful opportunities, a wider view of what life can be, and enough freedom to decide for themselves what they will do with it.

That is volition.

And for us, it begins with Christ.

At the core is a love already given — not something to be earned, but something to be lived from. From that love comes the foundation that every person possesses inherent dignity, that our lives are meant to be lived in relationship with one another, and that what we have been given — our time, resources, knowledge, influence and opportunity — carries with it a responsibility to serve.

House Volition is how we have chosen to live that belief in practice. Our purpose is to expand the number of meaningful possibilities people can perceive, access and freely act upon. We do that through three principles:

Sharing. Giving. Service.

We share what we know, what we have experienced, and what we have access to. We give our resources, attention, relationships and opportunities where they can create meaningful possibility for others. And we serve by putting what we have been given to work in the lives and communities around us.

We create environments where people can encounter one another honestly, experience worlds beyond their own, develop genuine relationships, learn from people they would otherwise never meet, and discover possibilities they may never have known existed. As a growing ecosystem of people, organizations and initiatives built around that purpose, our work spans community, events, business, media, education, mentorship and service.

Some of our work includes creating spaces for young adults to form genuine relationships, encounter new experiences and discover more of the world available to them. We also work alongside leaders, businesses, churches and Christ-centered organizations, bringing knowledge, experience and consulting on systems, relationships and resources to help them grow their capacity to serve the people entrusted to them.

Ultimately we are building for a much longer horizon — forging places dedicated to gathering, learning, hospitality, diplomacy, stewardship, sustenance and service across communities and cultures for generations to come.

Everything we do is to the same end- to steward what has been entrusted to us — our work, experience, relationships, resources and opportunity — into passionate communities, enduring institutions, meaningful work and real opportunity for others; multiplying what we have been given in service to Christ, one another and the generations that follow.

That is House Volition.
