Jubilee Leadership Academy is a highly structured, Christian residential program for teenage boys, located on the Snake River in eastern Washington. The relationally-oriented program is specifically designed to meet the needs of students and their families struggling with difficult challenges and life circumstances. Jubilee is specifically structured to help teenage boys between the ages of 13 and 18 who desire a better life. Many of the students that attend Jubilee are seeking assistance coping with issues stemming from adoption, divorce, abandonment, low-self-esteem substance abuse, ODD, ADD, school failure and family conflict. Jubilee also serves students that come from unsafe living environments and need the structure and stability that is offered in the program.
Mr. Rick Griffin is the Executive Director. Mr. Calvin Thopre is the Counseling Coordinator. The school administration is comprised of Mr. Shane Longmire, Mr. Jim Estep, Mr. Nick Coleman, and Mrs. Leann Griffin.
The campus has two dormitories, a cafeteria, a school, an administrative building, staff housing, a football field, and a basketball court. Jubilee offer a fully accredited academic program complete with advanced and college prep coursework. The vocational program includes Woodworking, Welding, Horsemanship, Culinary Arts, and Facilities Management.
The average time to complete the program is 12 to 15 months, but a student's motivation to change and grow dictates his length of stay. This 12-15 month time-frame provides time for parents to complete the two retreats required by the Jubilee program. However, Jubilee staff works with families and community to support to determine the appropriate length of stay.
