Tree Street Youth

We're grateful the temperatures have cooled down!! Last week's heat wave meant we had to get creative to stay cool while still having lots of fun - check out some of our fave pics from the week! ☀️🌳

We're so excited to be partnering with Lift All Boats this summer! 🦞

Lift All Boats is a student lobster mentorship program built to give Maine students without traditional access to the working waterfront a pathway into Maine’s heritage lobster industry.

We’re excited to follow this group of youth as they spend the summer learning about this industry that is so important to our state! 🌳💙

Addition to original post: This post has generated a great more response than we anticipated! We are grateful to those who have been been positive, constructive and educational. We especially appreciate more proximate knowledge holders for sharing your insights! We are all growing and learning and we at Tree Street definitely understand all the complexities that come with building a world where lines of difference are constantly being crossed!

With that we do want to encourage everyone who wants to engage in the conversation, hold themselves to a standard of respect and care for one another. We are modeling for kids, especially on this page and ask for support from you all to ensure we model the importance of honoring experience and perspective while holding ourselves to standards of appropriate language and human decency/civility. Thank you!
