Description
Event Type = Volunteer: You will be volunteering at this event
Treehouse provides a range of supports to help students in foster care experience success at school, and have access to the resources and support systems that all kids need to graduate from high school with a plan for their future. It takes all of us in coordination, with consistent positive adult presence and collaboration between foster parents, social workers, teachers, school counselors, mentors, and Treehouse.
Join us at TWIF HQ as we stuff backpacks full of necessary supplies for kids to go back to school. Each backpack will be available in the Treehouse Wearhouse, a free store where youth in foster care and their caregivers can shop for high-quality essentials, or as part of the student success programs.
