Mission Statement
Tree Trust's mission is to transform lives and landscapes by engaging people to build skills for meaningful careers, inspiring people to plant trees, and making our community a greener, healthier place to live.
About This Cause
Tree Trust emphasizes three core focus areas, to guide our work every day and inform how we best serve our communities. These core focus areas support our vision of a thriving workforce living on a healthy planet: 1) Pathways to Careers: We equip people to achieve family-supporting, skilled trade, green careers to create economic opportunity and equity. 2) Planting Trees: We are committed to planting trees to grow a vibrant and resilient urban forest. 3) Partnership: Our model of work is collaborative – with each other, with our community partners, and with the people we serve. Since 1976, Tree Trust has served more than 55,500 individuals through our employment and education programs, helping them achieve a better life and improve our communities. Our Career Pathways programs helps young people ages 14-24, many of whom have barriers to education, career training, and employment. Through programming, they achieve self-sufficiency via employment readiness training, paid work experience, case management, financial literacy development, and industry-recognized credential training. Tree Trust also transforms lives and landscapes through our Community Forestry initiatives. By planting trees in public, private, and residential areas, students, local residents, and community volunteers have the opportunity to learn about the environmental and create positive change for generations to come. Our Community Forestry programs include: Community Tree Plantings, Residential Tree Distributions, Learning with Trees programming at schools, and trainings to educate and prepare volunteers to become “Branch Managers” – those who help facilitate volunteer tree plantings. Tree Trust Landscape Services provides professional tree care and landscape contracting. This social enterprise supports our programs, advances the greening of our community, and creates opportunities for green careers. Together with tree care industry partners and Apprenticeship Minnesota, Tree Trust launched a registered apprenticeship program in our Landscape Services department. An earn-as-you-learn initiative, the registered apprenticeship is a successful model to build a pipeline of highly skilled arborists in a high-demand industry.
