In 1979 Fred Peterson, with a wife and two children, left his secure teaching position to reach hurting teens. And, with that, TreeHouse was born. Since 1984 TreeHouse has been operating in the Twin Cities successfully bringing love, hope, and transformation to teens in need.
In 2014 an Independent TreeHouse was opened in Sandstone. Using the proven model of success, TreeHouse Sandstone is staffed by local individuals and supported by churches, businesses and individuals, making Sandstone the first Partner outside the metro area. |
As I sat in on our Sandstone Partner TreeHouse, my first thought was 'It's working!' I was blown away at how much it felt like the TreeHouse I was a part of for 10 years. The teens were open and vulnerable, the staff were filled with compassion and grace and the energy was contagious. It's been amazing to watch how quickly these new areas are able to transfer the culture of TreeHouse to their community. We're on the edge of something huge. I can't wait to continue to witness the transforming work of TreeHouse as we expand across the country.
