Your Support Changes Lives

Due to the generous support of our donors and partners, we are able to provide life-skills training and behavioral change at no-cost.

Typically, accessing even short-term support is impossible for many people due to the high costs associated with getting the help they need. Our free program makes it possible for everyone to have a second chance.

Since 1998, the John Volken Academy has changed thousands of lives. Our students have access to support, healthy meals, safe housing, job/skills training, and education for the duration of their stay.

Our students go from being homeless, hungry, and desperate, to thriving individuals and productive members of society. Many of them go on to get married, have children, buy houses, and start businesses. They also continue to serve others and give back to their communities.

We could not provide all of this without your help!
