Trinity Youth
Trinity Youth is a program for middle and high school students from across New York City. We learn and play together at Trinity Youth Afterschool, study the Bible and ask big questions during Youth Group, and make a joyful noise in music classes with Jazz House Kids.
At Trinity Youth, we practice radical welcome: the full inclusion of everyone regardless of background, beliefs, or experience. You, your voice, and your experiences are valued here.
