Treehouse
The Treehouse Tutoring Corps (TTC) places Seattle University undergraduate students in elementary and middle schools as tutors. This unique program is part Seattle University’s partnership with Treehouse, a Seattle-based nonprofit organization that serves the educational needs of youth in foster care. The TTC is designed to provide consistent academic support, encouragement and positive modeling by college students to youth in Treehouse programs. TTC currently serves four schools; Bailey Gatzert Elementary, Madrona K-8 School, and Washington Middle School. TTC is supporting Seattle University’s mission to prepare leaders for a
just and humane world. In addition to the rewards of working with
children, TTC staff grow in their awareness, empathy and
understanding of the challenges youth in foster care confront as work
toward development of academic and life skills.
