Trenton Civic Trust

Several years ago when I took a week long training for Community Organizing I had no idea what was going to happen.

I was always interested in the lives of others and found joy spending time with people of various backgrounds.

In Trenton NJ we have a group of citizens who are actively involved in the process of addressing areas of concern and seeking solutions through a no-blame approach.   The Trenton Civic Trust is part of the Citizens Campaign, a non-profit organization.

On August 5, 2017 we will have a statewide gathering called the Civic Summit
