TreeHouse
We serve teens and communities across the country.
TreeHouse has been serving teens since 1984, 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.

Support GroupSupport Group is a time when teens give voice to the struggles they’re facing and talk about what’s really going on in their lives. We start by hanging out, follow that with group time and a small lesson, then break into smaller support groups.
During these smaller support groups, teens check in with their group by saying their name, rating how their week is going, and naming at least three emotions they’ve felt over the past week. If they want to dive deeper into what caused those emotions, they’re given time to share with the group. This creates a space where teens feel safe sharing what’s going on in their lives and receive support from peers and adult leaders.
Most Support Groups include:

ConnectConnect is an opportunity to dig into the Bible and learn more about our God-given purpose. This program is designed to help teens develop the spiritual and personal life skills needed to grow into healthy young adults. Even though we’re talking about some deep subjects, Connect is also a time for teens to unwind and have fun.

MentoringWhen a teen joins TreeHouse, they have the opportunity to get connected with an adult leader who establishes a mentoring relationship with them. For many teens, this is their favorite TreeHouse program, since they get dedicated one-on-one time with a safe, caring adult. Mentors serve as a consistent presence and a voice of love in a teen’s life. |

Trips & Activities Throughout the year, TreeHouse provides opportunities beyond our weekly programs for teens to have fun, learn about themselves, and connect with God in a deeper way—including retreats, service projects, and social activities. |
Growth Groups TreeHouse staff pull together small groups of teens to focus on customized topic areas several times a year. We dig into a topic that’s relevant to the group members—like anger, self-harm, leadership, or forgiveness—and create a space for discussion and learning. |
