Treehouse services (with the exception of Educational Advocacy) are available to all children in King County with open DCFS case files – including children who live with their parents or relatives, as well as kids in out-of-home foster care.

Treehouse Educational Advocacy services are available to children living in out-of-home foster care anywhere in the state of Washington.

Attention, case workers: download a copy of our general referral form here. Return it as an attachment to referrals@treehouseforkids.org or or fax it to (206) 767-7773.

Referrals are valid for a full year, and are good for the Wearhouse, Little Wishes, Summer Camp, Tutoring and Coaching-to-College. Educational Advocacy requires a separate referral form.
