Treehouse

This week, we’re honoring Juneteenth by uplifting Black joy, culture, and community care. One way to make an impact? Donating Black hair care products.

How to get involved:
- Shop and donate new Black hair products—think Cantuu, Mielle, and Shea Moisture products.
- Drop them off for the Treehouse Store, where youth in foster care can access products that reflect and affirm their identity.

Hair care is more than routine—it’s about confidence, culture, and feeling seen. Together, we can help ensure every young person in foster care has access to products made for them.

Join us all week long as we celebrate, learn, and give back.

A bar of soap. A toothbrush. Clean clothes.

For many, these aren’t small things—they’re everything.

The items that we need the most are:
• Baby/Kids Hygiene (Shampoo, Bodywash)
• Adult Shampoo & Conditioner
• Men's & Women's Razors/Shaving Cream
• Kids Toothbrush & Toothpaste ONLY

For LGBTQ+ youth in foster care, life can change overnight—new homes, new schools, new environments—but education has the power to be something different.

A constant. A safe space. A place where a young person is seen and supported for who they are.

Because when students feel safe, they can focus. When they feel supported, they can succeed.

Stability in education doesn’t just change a school year—it can change a life. 🌈

Today is National Higher Education Day — a time to celebrate opportunity, growth, and what’s possible when young people are supported on their educational journeys.

But the reality is clear: young people in foster care face significant barriers to completing high school and accessing college. The data shows a gap—but it also shows where support can make the biggest difference.

At Treehouse, we’re committed to helping youth in foster care build brighter futures through education, one step at a time.

Graduation season is here, and we’re celebrating the incredible achievements of the Class of 2026!

Moments like this—where students are recognized for their hard work, receive meaningful awards, and are celebrated by their communities—remind us what’s possible with the right support along the way. From senior award ceremonies to graduation gifts, each milestone is a step toward a bright future.

We’re so proud of every student crossing the stage this year. Your perseverance, growth, and determination deserve to be celebrated.

At Treehouse, we know that opportunity can change everything. 💙

We’re grateful for partners like Subaru who believe in showing up with compassion and action, and for every person who helps make these moments possible.

LGBTQ+ youth are disproportionately represented in foster care. That’s why inclusive, affirming support matters.

Treehouse is working to ensure youth in foster care—no matter who they are—have the resources they need to thrive.

Last week, Treehouse was recognized by the Highline School District at their Board meeting for our partnership with the district serving youth in foster care. Graduation Success Supervisor Roland Pablo and Education Specialist Ollie Endicott were there to accept.

Thank you, Highline!

Treehouse staff from across the state are gathering for an organization-wide retreat to connect and better support the youth we serve.

Normal business hours will resume on Monday, May 18.
