Celebrate and Welcome Afghan Neighbors

Treetops Collective started with a question: how does a refugee woman make this community her true home—a place where she and her family can flourish for generations to come?Just like trees need the right soil and conditions—so do strong women. As they become established and stable, they provide shade for others, prevent erosion, and provide numerous other benefits to their surroundings.Mission:We are a cross-cultural movement that connects with and invests in New American women leaders, together transforming our communities into places of belonging.Vision:We imagine a world where any person who has experienced the pain of displacement finds a community where they can live a vibrant, whole life in connection with their neighbors.
