Red Barn Academy
Is Red Barn Academy right for you?
What sacrifices are you willing to make to change?
We work our butts off at Red Barn Academy! We believe in hard work, discipline, accountability, and integrity. We are a peer-run community and practice independence and self-reliance to prepare us to become productive members of society. We focus on making commitments to ourselves, others, and Red Barn Academy. Our therapeutic model is based on the concept of "each one, teach one".
Red Barn Academy is a MEN'S residential multi-year (2 year minimum) vocational training school patterned after the Delancey Street model. Red Barn Academy is NOT a treatment center. Red Barn Academy is NOT a medical/clinical program. Medications are NOT allowed at Red Barn Academy. Our students have a history of unhealthy behaviors such as drug addiction and crime. Each candidate is thoroughly screened for the program and upon acceptance there is NO cost to the student. Students work in Red Barn Academy training schools (Red Barn Construction, Red Barn Landscape, Red Barn Chicken) to pay for expenses at the farm.
We work closely with the criminal justice system. We will do our best to work with judges, public defenders, and the decision-makers to provide an option and alternative to jail/prison. We understand that it's important to teach our students the necessary life-skills to becoming contributing members of society. We are an all MEN'S facility and will work with those 18 years and older. 2 year minimum.
