Guests who are shopping in person at Rooted Together are often greeted by friendly faces at the sewing table, creating products inspired by their own refugee stories or completing detailed work for local vendors.
When Treetops began in 2016, entrepreneurship, workforce development, and social enterprise were at the center of our mission. Through relationship, we understood that refugee women arrive here with talent and skills but often without a pathway to use them. Opportunities for work utilizing those skills became woven into the fabric of Treetops.
