Treehouse is Expanding!

Starting April 3, Treehouse is expanding eligibility for our Graduation Success, Just-in-Time Funding and Treehouse Store programs statewide.

Graduation Success will serve 8th-12th grade students throughout the entire state, ensuring that youth can access our services no matter where they live in Washington. Treehouse will be able to empower youth to succeed before they enter high school.

Just-in-Time Funding and the Treehouse Store programs will be available statewide to youth over the age of 5. Just-in-Time Funding provides youth in foster care with funding to explore their interests, including extracurricular activities and school- or work-related expenses. This program can pay for sports fees, gender-affirming items, summer camps, yearbook photos and more.

The Treehouse Store provides youth in foster care with free high-quality clothing, shoes, school supplies, toys and more. Youth can shop either in person at our store in Seattle or submit an order for delivery on our website.

Expanding our services brings Treehouse one step closer to our goal of ensuring every child who has experienced foster care has the opportunities and support they need to pursue their dreams and launch successfully into independence.
