Community Tree was created around a simple belief:

  • Communities become stronger when people are connected to one another and given meaningful opportunities to participate.

  • A tree cannot grow without strong roots.

  • Neither can a community.

  • Our roots represent the people, families, neighborhoods, history, experiences, and relationships that make communities unique.

  • Our branches represent the many ways people can serve, lead, learn, advocate, mentor, volunteer, and contribute.

  • Community Tree brings those pieces together.

Our Mission

Community Tree connects people across generations with meaningful opportunities for community service, civic engagement, leadership development, service learning, and community participation.
