Founded in 1986 by Nassau Presbyterian and Trinity Episcopal Church of Princeton, The Trenton After School Program provides the children of Trenton's West Ward personal after-school homework assistance, tutoring and enrichment in a safe, nurturing environment.
Today, thanks to board and community support, each day TASP touches the lives of over 60 children in grades 1 through 8.
Our Mission
Through our after school and summer programs, we enrich children’s lives and build life skills through educational assistance in a creative and nurturing environment. TASP serves children, grades 1-8, in Trenton's West Ward.
Program Hours
Our after school program begins at 3:00pm with dismissal at 6:00pm, most school days. We follow the calendar for the Trenton public schools.
Summer enrichment is the month of July from 8:30am to 5:00pm.
