Treehouse
In 1988, a group of social workers founded Treehouse on the belief that kids in foster care deserve every opportunity to succeed and need a community cheering them on. They started small by raising money for birthday presents, school supplies, and swimming lessons.
Around 1995, Treehouse began focusing on the educational outcomes of students experiencing foster care, setting our strategic goal around graduation parity in 2012. Powered by committed staff, generous donors, and motivated partners, Treehouse has become Washington’s leading organization that is closing the educational opportunity gap for youth in foster care.
Our young people continue to show us that with intentional, individualized support and systems built for their success, they can thrive in school, plan for their future, and transition successfully into young adulthood.
