Summary
We serve teens and communities across the country.
TreeHouse has been serving teens since 1979, helping them build relationships and resiliency rooted in living hope. We're based in Minnesota, but we have sites across the country. Each of our sites host programs that give teens a safe space to find support and belonging. Through mentorships, retreats, and other off-site activities, teens have the opportunity to build even deeper relationships with peers and caring adults.

We want to ensure that our programs are effective and successful.

Mission statement
We are on a mission to end hopelessness among teens.
