Kerry Homstead
The Treehouse Foundation
Community Facilitator
Kerry has been the Treehouse Foundation Community Facilitator since the launch of the Intergenerational Treehouse Community in 2006. She has supported the early implementation and development of the community as well as its continued growth and evolution. Since starting in a small agency created to address the neglected needs of at-risk adolescent girls, Kerry has provided and developed a range of programs and services for many different populations including young parents, teens in foster care, at-risk youth, and families affected by domestic violence. Her longevity in the human service community and experience in watching as trends in child welfare, health and education come and go provide her with an invaluable perspective on the promise of Treehouse. Kerry has done research for Casey Family Services at the Smith College School for Social Work, and also had the opportunity to work on adult education and literacy as well as girls' health.
