Overview

Mission

Jubilee academy's mission is to provide a christ centered community where youth can find a new beginning. Jubilee is a 400-acre behavioral not-for-profit youth ranch with a 60 plus bed residential program. Jubilee's program is for young men ages 13 to 18. Jubilee employs over 20 full time staff for the residential program and the Washington state accredited academy. Our goal is to work with behavioral issues stemming from family functioning, legal problems, academic failure, and substance abuse. We work with mental health disorders including, but not limited to, add, adhd, odd, anxiety, depression, and anger management. Our program also teaches work ethic with on-site vocational opportunities such as horsemanship, animal husbandry, food service, and facilities and grounds maintenance. Our goal is to use our resources received through donations and tuition to provide students with the best spiritual care, counseling, academics and life skills that will equip them for a new beginning.
