In its unwavering commitment to uplifting youth and empowering underserved communities, Trinity Helping Hands is proud to highlight the success of its growing Youth Sports Initiative a dynamic program designed to promote physical fitness, mental wellness, and leadership development through direct engagement with professional athletes.
This initiative is more than just about playing sports. It serves as a powerful platform where youth are encouraged to live active, healthy lifestyles while learning valuable life skills such as teamwork, discipline, resilience, and goal setting. By partnering with professional athletes from a variety of sports backgrounds including football, basketball, soccer, track and field, and volleyball, Trinity Helping Hands is creating meaningful opportunities for young people to connect with positive role models who have turned their passion for sports into successful careers.
“Our Youth Sports Initiative was created to inspire, motivate, and equip our youth with the confidence they need to succeed not just on the field, but in life,” said Trinity Nowa, Founder of Trinity Helping Hands. “By connecting them with professional athletes who share their stories of overcoming challenges and achieving excellence, we’re helping our youth see that greatness is within their reach.”
The program includes sports clinics, fitness camps, mentorship workshops, health talks, and community games, all tailored to be inclusive and accessible. The presence of professional athletes not only adds excitement but also reinforces key messages about perseverance, wellness, and the importance of education alongside athletic development.
In a time when youth face increasing mental health challenges, the physical and emotional benefits of sports cannot be overstated. Engaging in regular physical activity has been proven to reduce anxiety, boost self-esteem, improve focus, and foster a sense of community—outcomes that Trinity Helping Hands is proud to support through this program.
Parents and community leaders have praised the initiative for its positive impact on young participants, many of whom have shown increased motivation, improved social skills, and a renewed sense of purpose.
The initiative also aligns with Trinity Helping Hands’ broader mission of creating safe, nurturing environments where youth from diverse and often marginalized backgrounds can thrive. Through its sports programming, the organization is helping to close the gap in access to extracurricular activities for immigrant, refugee, and low-income families in South King County and beyond.
Looking ahead, Trinity Helping Hands plans to expand the program by hosting more events, inviting guest athletes from national and international leagues, and forming partnerships with schools and local sports organizations to enhance youth participation across the region.
“We believe in the power of sports to transform lives,” said Trinity Nowa. “Whether it’s a child kicking a ball for the first time or a teen dreaming of playing at the next level, we want to be there to support, guide, and cheer them on every step of the way.”
