Volunteers are a critical part of how Treehouse supports youth in foster care. We welcome groups, individuals and families to join us.

Treehouse’s commitment to diversity and equity is central to our work with youth in foster care, and our volunteers are our partners in this work. Treehouse serves youth and caregivers of many races and ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities, abilities and religious beliefs. We seek volunteers who reflect that diversity. We know that everyone is at a different place in their learning about dismantling racism and other forms of oppression, but our expectation is that Treehouse volunteers bring a personal commitment to continued learning and action on these fronts.

We have several Treehouse Store shifts on our calendar that are open to one-time volunteers. These shifts are labeled “Holiday Helper,” “Individuals, Families, and Friends” or “Treehouse Admin Support” on our calendar here: Treehouse Store Support Shifts

These shifts involve sorting and processing incoming donations, putting tags on clothing, and preparing the Store for shopping days.

Age requirement:  All youth under age 16 must be accompanied by adult chaperones, with a 1:1 ratio of child to adult.

Multiple Shifts Available from 10 AM to 4 PM on Tuesdays through Sundays

In April, we rebuild and repair our greenhouses. We also start and transplant thousands of seedlings to be ready for growing in April and May. It's our version of Build Back Better, with "caterpillar tunnels" that are more resilient to our flood-prone river valley. We'd love your help.

The historic flood of December, 2025 covered our greenhouses and equipment with 10 feet of swiftly flowing water. The current carried tons of debris that destroyed several greenhouses and scattered thousands of items.  

Food Bank Farm grew 400,000 pounds of fresh nutritious produce in 2025, double our average, to feed the hungry in Western WA. Anyone can help. We sign lots of service hour forms for students. Dress for the weather. Wear gloves. We provide all tools.

 - If you are a parent with a Youth ages 11-13, PLEASE simply create an account for the ADULT but DO NOT REGISTER FOR A SHIFT.  The youth will not be able to have their own account until they are 14. Many volunteers are getting tripped up by the new portal and it's easier if I register for you than to try and fix it.   PLEASE email your info to volunteer@sowa.org and I WILL REGISTER FOR YOU - Include names, ages of any minors, cell phone, city of residence and date/event/role/shift info. 

 - If you are NEW and are a duo with the same email or a small group/family wishing to volunteer together, you may find it easier for us to register for you.  Please have one adult serve as the Group Lead and create a profile but do not register for the actual shift.  Then email volunteer@sowa.org with the information listed in the first bullet point.

 - If you already have a profile and are a duo, small group/family, again, I'm happy to register everyone together.  See instructions in the first bullet point.  It really is easier at this point to register for you than to go back into your account and fix it so that everyone is listed.

 - Register only for the shift(s) that you are committed to doing.  Do NOT register for every shift that you are WILLING to do.  We appreciate your flexibility and willingness to do whatever is needed but by selecting more than one role per shift, you're taking away the opportunity to register from others while we reach out to you individually to sort things out.

 - If you are available to volunteer ALL DAY but only the AM and PM shifts are listed and available, please register for both shifts and I'll fix it on the backend.

If you have volunteered with us since Fall 2024, welcome back!  Please click on https://portals.specialolympics.org to log-in and register for your preferred shift(s).

Registering is a two-step process: 1) Create your profile 2) THEN register for your desired volunteer shift. 

STEP 1:  Visit https://portals.specialolympics.org. 

 - Click “Create an account” which will walk you through profile creation. 

 - Note: Your email activation code will be sent from “Microsoft on behalf of Special Olympics B2C Production.” Please be sure to check your spam folder as well.  If you don't receive the code after a few minutes, your email's security settings may be set too high.  See if you can add “Microsoft on behalf of Special Olympics B2C Production” as a Safe Sender and see if that helps.  

STEP 2:  When on your personal “Volunteer Zone” landing page, select “Sign up for an Event”

- If there are several events listed, it may be easier if you go to the drop-down Sort By feature and Sort by Date.

Do you have a large group (10+ persons)?  Email volunteer@sowa.org to help find the perfect fit for your group - I will even register for you!

** After you've registered here (or I have registered for you), you'll receive an auto-generated confirmation email.  Mark your calendars to save the date.  As we get closer to the event, you'll receive additional confirmation emails from volunteer@sowa.org. These are usually sent the Monday and Wednesday prior to a weekend event.

Again, if you have ANY difficulties registering, or have ANY questions about volunteering or what the best role for you might be, please email me at volunteer@sowa.org.  Thank you and I hope to see you at an event soon!
