About

The John Volken Academy is a transformative long-term residential program dedicated to helping men develop essential life skills, build character, and create lasting behavioral change.

Formerly Red Barn Academy, the John Volken Academy helps men rebuild their lives through a structured, long-term residential program. Our mission is to develop stability and independence through accountability, job training, education, financial literacy, and real-world life skills. We prepare individuals for successful re-entry by providing job readiness support, practical experience, and clear planning for the future. Our goal is for every graduate to leave confident, self-sufficient, and equipped for long-term success.
