The
DreamTree Project is a 501(c)(3), non-profit, community-based organization for homeless, abused, and neglected youth from New Mexico and the surrounding region. We opened our doors in November 2000 with our Transitional Living Program. We began a family support group open to all parents in the Taos community in January 2005. In June of 2011, we opened the doors of our Emergency Youth Shelter for youth 12-17 years of age. We also have a Community-Based Housing Program, which supports youth as they live in approved housing within the county. All DreamTree youth have access to AfterCare, a follow-up program which ensures that youth continue to have support while they live independently. |
Our Founders

The DreamTree Project's Founders: (L-R)
Kim Treiber, Joey Blue, and Cami Hartman |
The founders of the DreamTree Project have worked extensively with young people in northern New Mexico for many years and because of that experience saw a need for services that weren't being offered. A common goal of all founding members is to create an environment for youth where their strengths and aspirations can be supported.
Our
team's experience includes counseling adolescents, teaching academics,
art and music and extensive personal and group activities, Respite Foster
Care, and Corporate Managerial Experience. Diverse skills in wilderness
therapy, crisis intervention, Positive Peer Culture environments, team
building, facilitation, diversity training, and mediations, as well as
an in-depth, long-term understanding of Taos and its youth, will all contribute
to the program's success.
