My journey began in middle school when I was first introduced to this program by my music teacher. As a member of TYS, it quickly became the highlight of my week. The people and welcoming environment stayed with me so strongly that I knew I had to return after the pandemic. Trenton Arts at Princeton was more than just dance, singing, theater, and orchestra; it was as supportive space to explore all types of art from creative writing, drawing, and poetry. When I returned from the program, I discovered my passion for dance and transitioned to TYD, where I stayed until I became an alumni. This program was not just a community where I felt comfortable in but it was also a platform for discovery of art.
I have met wonderful people like Rachel Schwartz, who is always eager to lend a helping hand, and many others. I would hate to see future students lose the chance to experience the transformative opportunities and a space that allows people to hone in their artistic skills like I had in the program.
