LAKEVILLE FARMINGTON TREEHOUSE

Lakeville Farmington Treehouse is a youth outreach program with a mission to inspire purpose and

connection in teens. We serve at-risk/struggling Dakota county teens in the communities of Farmington,

Lakeville, and adjacent cities. The program fills a niche for youth in grades 7-12 who may not fit well into

other extracurricular activities because of social or mental health issues. Many of our participants also

struggle to succeed in school which is one focus of our programming.

Most of our participants are referred to us by local school districts, county mental health or juvenile

programs and are facing at least one significant life issue. Programs are structured to help youth recognize

and address mental health issues and work through difficult school and family situations, providing an

important lifeline to many.
