Neighborhood Council

The Neighborhood Council is an advisory group that helps Trinity's Neighborhood Support team understand and address the needs of our Lower Manhattan neighborhood. Members of the council — nonprofit leaders, community organizers, policymakers, residents, and other stakeholders — work with us and one another to improve the well-being of children and families in our community.
