A BIT ABOUT US

The Trinity Rangers are

a group of young people (ages 15-30) from the Lower Mainland excited to hang out, make memories and build life-long friendships. Our heart is to create spaces for young adults with intellectual disabilities and Trinity Western University students and athletes to come together and grow in community with each other. We might gather to play games, go to the movies or eat snacks but whatever we do, we laugh a lot and have a lot of fun. We meet bi-weekly providing an opportunity to create personal friendship. As opportunities arise, we also are excited to attend TWU sports games to cheer on our new friends and continue to build memories together. Subscribe to our mailing list to hear about new events and opportunities to be involved!

WHO IS INVOLVED?

Where Passion and Dedication Meet

JAKE JURGENEIT

Founder | TWU Men's Hockey Player

Jake Jurgeneit is a 5th-year business
student at TWU and a member of the
Spartans Men's Hockey team. Before
being recruited to TWU, Jake played
junior hockey across Eastern Canada.
During his time in Nova Scotia, his junior hockey team organized weekly program where the team would spend time with young adults with physical and intellectual
disabilities to share stories, play
games, and grow together through
their love of sports. Jake felt it was his
calling from God to continue this
program in some aspect at TWU. As a
result, the Trinity Rangers were
born.
