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?

Meet the team:

ALKETA WOLLF

Young Life Capernaum Events Coordinator

Alketa Wollf is a TWU alumni who studied Psychology and Human Services and currently works in full time disability ministry with Young Life Capernaum and SouthRidge Fellowship Church. During this last year of working at TWU in the inclusion office and teaching adaptive ski lessons with VASS, she developed a passion for helping people with disabilities find a place of belonging and know Jesus deeper. She is excited to coordinate Trinity Rangers this year as she believes that people with disabilities should not only be present in all spaces, but also welcomed, needed, and loved.

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.

SVEA JURGENEIT

Co-Founder

Svea has been on the leadership team with the Trinity Rangers from the beginning. Svea is a high school teacher, and has been involved in the church community, through leading worship at her home church and is a true servant leader in our community. She is also a brilliant photographer and always brings a positive attitude to the Trinity Rangers Events. Svea is a leader and a fantastic role model for any young adults in the Trinity Rangers program.

KATHY DUBBELDAM

Young Life Capernaum Director Canada

Kathy Dubbeldam has been involved with Young Life since 1994 and brought YL Capernaum to Canada in 2014. This work started in Edmonton and has since grown to 12 cities and 3 provinces. Throughout the last 8 years she has helped spark both Capernaum-specific
clubs (spaces with disability as priority) as well as trained staff to have inclusive practices for their local clubs. Many of

developing accessible devotionals.
