What does a day look like for a student at JVA?
The John Volken Academy has been carefully designed to provide our students with a safe and supportive environment to change their lives. As a student, your day is structured with opportunities to receive career training, educational advancement, and leadership development.
A nutritious breakfast is prepared and served by students assigned to our cafeterias.
Following breakfast there is morning group and chores.
Students will then disperse to their assigned duties throughout one of our various businesses and functions within the program designed to support the community, allow them to gain work experience and continue their education and life skills training.
Lunch and dinner are served at assigned times and students conclude their days with a variety of structured activities such as group-based meetings and seminars, educational workshops, sports and fitness, leisure time, and planned outings to experience entertainment, nature, and more.
