currently calls Trinity-on-Main home. They hold their meetings,
classes, rehearsals and events here at T-o-M and also maintain an

community cultural education programs.
Youth Programs:
These programs are designed to build self-esteem, enhance life
skills, and foster creativity in an environment that celebrates
diversity and provides inter-generational mentoring. The Fall program
focuses on working together to acquire the skills (performance and
personal) and discipline to stage a multi-faceted, multi-act Kwanzaa
celebration show. Kwanzaa is an African American cultural holiday
that promotes 7 principles: unity, self-determination, collective
works and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity,
and faith. The Fall program runs from September to the December 29th
