TREE MUSKETEERS–
a place where kids can be boss
Tree Musketeers was the first and
is still one of very few nonprofits
founded and run by kids.
Youth are in leadership roles on every level of the
organization. There’s a place too for young people
who prefer to only take environmental action as casual
volunteers and for those with community service obligations.
Every effort is made to reflect the age, gender, physical
ability, and ethnic diversity of our community.
While people of all ages are in the volunteer ranks,
programs and leadership opportunities are primarily
geared for youth ages 10-18. This level of leadership
and community service becomes the winning portfolio
that brings scholarships, college admittance and recognition
as national youth leaders.
