The John Volken Difference
What sets the John Volken Academy apart from other therapeutic communities is our robust education program. We take our students’ futures seriously and are committed to setting them up for lasting success.
What does educaiton look like?
With the support of dedicated volunteers and mentors, the John Volken Academy provides valuable educational opportunities for every student. Whether it’s learning a trade, mastering coding, or studying accounting, students gain practical skills to prepare for their future. After spending time in the program, you’ll become eligible to continue—or begin—your chosen path in education and career development.
Lasting sobriety begins with transformation—from the inside out. At the John Volken Academy, students don’t just overcome addiction; they build a brand-new way of living. This journey requires developing meaningful life skills, emotional awareness, and a strong sense of purpose.
Through everyday experiences, students learn to set healthy boundaries, communicate with confidence, and build positive relationships. They reconnect with family, rebuild trust, and discover what it means to truly belong. Within the Academy community, every interaction—whether in the classroom, workplace, or social setting—becomes an opportunity for growth.
Education plays a vital role in this transformation. With the help of dedicated mentors and volunteers, students gain access to real-world learning in areas such as trades, coding, and business. They uncover new talents, explore career paths, and begin shaping a future filled with possibility.
By combining education, community, and personal growth, the John Volken Academy empowers students to leave behind their past and step confidently into a new life—one defined by integrity, purpose, and hope.
