The transition into adult life can often feel sooo overwhelming for teens with disabilities and for their families... That’s exactly why our Tree Fort youth program is here for YOU!! 🌱

Every afternoon in the Tree Fort, our teens:
🌳 Get connected with The Opportunity Tree's adult services including SEEDS Employment, LEAF Day Program & Fireslammers Special Olympics sports!

We are thrilled to be installing a customized mosaic mural created and curated by Lisa ArtMobile: Art that Heals on Wheels ilecreativecenter and our very own Supported Aging Members, to live forever in the courtyard of our Phoenix Campus! 🎨🖌

But big things start small. Sometimes… as a sketch on paper. 🪨✨

Before a single real stone was painted, our Members practiced their lines, shapes, and patterns on paper “rocks.”

Watching our Members carefully outline patterns, test designs, and build confidence before touching the real stones has been a powerful experience.

This is just the beginning of our 6 month journey — and every rock at the base of the mural will carry the care that started right here. Because art is not rushed at the Tree; it is learned, shaped, and owned.

Follow along as this story unfolds and stay tuned for Part 2!

School’s out! 🎒🌳

We recently welcomed over 30 ESS students from & at our Phoenix campus for a Day at the Tree Fort campus tour! 🎉

Our immersive tour experiences are designed to ease the transition from school to adult life by connecting students and families with programs available now and after graduation, including:

🌱 Tree Fort Youth program
💼 SEEDS Employment Services
🍃 LEAF Adult Program
🏀 Fireslammers Special Olympics

From exploring our Multi-Sensory Room, to creating Treefruit Kebabs in the kitchen, to learning about our SEEDS supported employment services, and wrapping up with a Fireslammer Basketball Tournament - the energy on campus was incredible, and the future is bright! 💬🎨🧠👨‍🍳🏐

We can’t wait to see what these bright young minds accomplish next. You, and all ESS students always have a home at the Tree! 💚

Last Thursday, our Southwest District of Kiwanis International Aktion Club volunteered at the The Phoenix Symphony annual Savor The Symphony event to celebrate the power of music, connect with the community, and catch a behind the scenes rehearsal of Disco Divas before the big weekend performance 💃🎵🎻🎶!! Our Members helped 'orchestrate' a wonderful experience by greeting guests, taking photos of attendees and guiding guests through the various event areas. We got lucky enough to catch up with our friends & Susan Casper ABC15 too, who always crush it for our community🌎! Thank you to The Phoenix Symphony for always showing up for us, and here's to connecting our communities together!

Reading up!
Our Senior and Adult Members had the joy of welcoming author Veronica Iniguez, who took us to the depths of the ocean with her book Captain and Me at Sea! In addition to the wonderful delivery, the experience sparked movement, conversation, curiosity, and connection, allowing us to fully step into the story. Moments like this remind us that learning never stops and that stories have the power to bring people together in the most meaningful ways.

Huge thank you to and .booklover for bringing Captain and Me at Sea! and can't wait for the next author to come visit the Tree!
