Frequently Asked Questions

Varsity Team Inc is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides housing for at-risk teens in San Diego County. We believe that every child should have the opportunity to achieve success and be provided with the tools, guidance and direction to reach their full potential.

  • You can make a general donation to VTI or a specific donation in which you would specify what you would like your donation to be used for. In either case the funding is used for such things as: clothes, sport camps, sports equipment, musical instruments, field trips and outings, transportation, and Independent Living Skills.

  • This is something you can always contact us about but the needs are constantly changing since we get new kids often. Monetary donations are applied to whatever our current needs are. Though it is appreciated, it is best not to simply buy the items you feel are needed, such as clothes. If you want your donation to go towards something in particular, such as clothes, sports, or extra-curricular activities please specify.

  • In most cases it would be best if you didn’t. In some cases this has worked out in the form of couches and old TVs that were in good condition. However, many times we have been donations from people that haven’t worked and have cost us a great deal of money to maintain or dispose of.

  • If the vehicle is in good condition then yes, absolutely! We are in ongoing need of working vehicles as we have to constantly drive our kids all around San Diego.
