Treehouse, a place for Support for youth in foster care

Posted

Treehouse is a nonprofit supporting youth in foster care across Washington state. We provide material and financial resources, as well as education-based support so youth in care complete high school with a plan for the future.

Treehouse works at the intersection of the foster care and education systems, and we recently expanded the eligibility of all of our school-aged programs. Graduation Success, which provides 1-on-1 education support, as well as the Treehouse Store and Just-in-Time Funding programs are now available in your area. The Treehouse Store provides material goods (clothes, books, toys, school supplies) and Just-in-Time Funding pays for expenses in a variety of areas, such as school and enrichment activities.

Currently Treehouse is supporting approximately 20% of the youth in care in Chelan County and are offering new programs and and support services now available that can help a lot of youth such as:

Educational Advocacy

Remove and resolve barriers to school success for youth in foster care in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade across Washington State.

Graduation Success

Partner with high school youth in foster care to invest in their education and future through our youth-centered academic support program.

Launch Success

Continued support after high school for young adults who have experienced foster care until they achieve a degree or credential, living wage and stable housing.

Tribal Engagement

Dual-System Involved Youth

A Strong Network of Support

We invest in the unique educational needs of children, youth and young adults who have experienced foster care and create a strong network of support as they make the difficult transition into adulthood. In partnership with the community, foster parents, social workers, school staff and most importantly our youth, Treehouse fosters a brighter future across Washington state.
