The Limelight: Trinity River Mission

Trinity River Mission is a volunteer-based community learning center that promotes literacy, encourages academic success and develops effective life skills among disadvantaged youth in West Dallas, in the belief that education connects us to life’s possibilities.

TRM began in the early 1960s as an outreach ministry of Lovers Lane United Methodist Church to help in the relocation of Native Americans from Arizona, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. In 1988, TRM became an independent 501(c)(3) organization.

TRM’s focus is to promote literacy, augment academic skills, and develop educational success among children, youth, and families, with the understanding that language proficiency and educational achievement opens doors to satisfying jobs and productive futures. TRM serves all children without regard to race or ethnicity.


Trinity River Mission offers educational programs to help build the foundation necessary to support and encourage high school graduation and post-secondary studies. The core programs that TRM offers are:
· Homework help
· Math Tutoring
· Kids Café
· Tutor Power Hour
· Reading Buddies
· Believe & Achieve Scholarship Program
· Computer Lab

Family Connection is a new TRM program that rewards families for giving back to their community, improving themselves through education, and supporting the development of educational success in their children and future generations. The idea of Family Connection truly began with the parents of the students of TRM in February 2005. Many parents expressed a strong desire to give back to TRM for the services and goods received. They no longer wanted to receive free handouts, but merely wanted to earn them, set a good example for their children, and to increase parental involvement.

All families who have children enrolled in TRM’s educational programs are welcome to participate in Family Connection. Families complete a minimum of 60 volunteer hours per year. Each member of the family can earn volunteer hours through a variety of volunteer and educational opportunities offered at TRM or in the local community. For the most part, parents can easily earn volunteer hours by taking ESL and/or GED classes, volunteering in their children’s school, attending PTA and parent conference meetings, and, of course, volunteering their time at TRM. Families who meet minimum volunteer hour requirements receive school supplies and/or school uniforms in August for each child before the school year begins. In early December, each family receives Christmas gifts such as toys, clothing, shoes, and personal and household needs which TRM ensures are equitable among all families. During a festive Christmas gathering held at TRM, families receive their gifts, have their gifts wrapped by volunteers, and have the opportunity to safely meet and personally thank the donors who adopted them.
