To achieve its mission, the Trenton, USA program coordinates and collaborates with the City's public sector--the Division of Recreation, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Board of Education/District Schools, the Trenton Housing Authority--and with community based organizations and other nonprofits in the private sector.

Children and youth are a key focus within the Trenton program. The Trenton Youth Soccer League (TYSL) which PSNI started in 2015 is a free, fun recreational soccer program, open to Trenton public school students--girls and boys--without regard to skill. The TYSL teaches the sport of soccer plus life skills that support resilence, health and wellbeing, education and community
