It's Fun To Do Good and the John Volken Academy knows it!
The John Volken Academy Ranch is a larger organization that has a location here in Gilbert who take in people with an addiction. FatCats sponsors activities with their students when they have earned free time away from the ranch. This is a two-year program. The ranch is an actual equine ranch and the students are actual ranch hands. It’s an incredible program. On our visit during an early evening, they were having a small event. There were at least 50 riders on horseback showcasing, training or walking their horses that were stabled there.
Here is some information about the John Volken Academy Ranch:
The John Volken Academy Ranch is a quality equestrian park and events center nestled under a beautiful view of the San Tan Mountains.
The John Volken Academy addiction recovery program is modeled after the therapeutic community approach to addiction treatment, providing students with healthy lifestyle changes needed to live successful and sober lives, in the long term. The treatment programs are supported by a board of directors and receive consultation from addiction professionals and healthy-living specialists. Combining the therapeutic community approach with professional guidance makes this program extremely effective and truly life-changing.
