Trinity Youth Summer Service Expedition - Lots of Sweat and Smiles!

Trinity Communications ·

Our Trinity Middle School and High School Youth joined forces with a bunch of adult volunteers and found plenty of service to do right here in Tacoma. Each day began at the Bryant Neighborhood Center, where they prepared our hearts, minds, and bodyies for the day. Then they headed out to our service projects supporting community organizations all over Pierce County that do important work. In the afternoons, they participated in awesome adventure activities. And, finally, at each days end, they returned to the BNC to reflect and wrap up their day together.

The “Why” of this work was “Learning to walk in the way of Jesus through serving others and allowing Jesus to transform us through the people we meet and projects we participate in.” The kids - and adults - found joy in both the service and the play, and met great people all over our city!

BNC Hires Arthur Fleming as Community Engagement Coordinator

Trinity Communications ·

The BNC is excited to welcome Arthur as the Bryant Neighborhood Center’s new Community Engagement Coordinator! Thanks to a renewed partnership with Hilltop Heritage and the support of Tacoma Sunrise Rotary, this new role allows Arthur to spend time on campus as a mentor and support for students—whether it’s being a listening ear at lunch or helping in AVID classrooms, he’ll use these connections to bring back valuable insight to the BNC and shape programs that directly meet the needs of our youth, keeping them engaged both academically and socially.

Arthur is new to Tacoma and eager to dive in. With experience as an AmeriCorps volunteer, a Certified Peer Counselor, and a Substance Use Disorder Professional Trainee, he brings compassion, authenticity, and dedication to his work. In his free time, he officiates youth sports across Pierce County and is passionate about holistic wellbeing, fitness, reading, and meditation. We’re thrilled to have him on the team and can’t wait to see the positive impact he’ll make with students and families in our community.
