Treeswing strives to improve children's health through increased activity and play

Description:
Treeswing is dedicated to improving the health and wellness of our children. Treeswing works to create environments that support this health and wellness, to protect and cherish childhood, and to facilitate a lifetime of healthy habits and healthy families. Through education and collaboration we promote nutrition, movement and play to foster generations of empowered individuals and vibrant communities. At Treeswing we believe healthy change is more than altering behaviors or creating boundaries, it’s about understanding cultures and shaping new environments.

Our core values are centered on prevention, compassion, collaboration, excellence and integrity. In addition, we approach our goals with a focus on execution and measurement, transparency, accountability, advocacy, inclusivity, optimism and more than a little fun!

History:
Based in Seattle, WA, Treeswing is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that serves the children, families and communities of the Pacific Northwest. Treeswing got its official start in June 2005. Our 501(c)3 status was received in March 2006. Treeswing signed a contract with Seattle Public Schools in September of 2006, officially kicking-off our first project.
