Mission / About John
The purpose of the John Volken Foundation is to provide people in need with the opportunity to help themselves become successful, contributing members of society.
About John Volken Academy
The John Volken Academy has campuses in the United States and provides long-term life-skills training to men ages 18 to 55. The program is extremely effective because participants receive extensive personal development, career preparation, education, and healthy-living practice – all essential for permanent recovery.
About Lift The Children
Lift the Children searches out struggling orphanages in East Africa and provides them with long-term financial support. We then connect these orphanages with individuals, families, and business who become sponsors. Our ultimate goal is to help each orphanage become self-sufficient and to encourage and educate the children to reach their full potential. The John Volken Foundation covers 100% of the operating costs, so every penny donated goes directly to benefit the children.
