Red Barn Academy has transitioned to John Volken Academy
As you may have heard, Red Barn Academy has recently undergone a transition. The founder of Red Barn Farms, Rich Haws, has decided to step down and pursue other charitable ventures, meaning Red Barn Academy, as it was known, is no more. However, our mission of reinventing broken lives remains the same, and we are now proudly a part of John Volken Academy!
John Volken Academy was established in 2009 in Canada, and has locations in Gilbert, Arizona and Kent, Washington. We are excited to add North Salt Lake, Utah to that list! Interestingly, it was one of the therapeutic communities our founder studied when developing Red Barn Academy and is also being managed by previous graduates of Red Barn Academy. Both academies share similar values and approaches, and we are happy to share that our staff and student body remain unchanged throughout this transition.
We are now under the guidance of a new and dedicated board of directors who share our values and are committed to our mission. Their leadership ensures that we can continue providing the same life-changing opportunities to our students.
Our goal is to update you and express our hope that we can continue our relationship. We are truly grateful for all you have done to support our mission—one that remains steadfast in changing lives and healing families.
Let’s keep changing lives together! Support the change of Red Barn Academy into John Volken Academy.
