UPT provides FREE AfterSchool and SummerCamp programming for youth and teens at two sites in Trenton. UPT has developed a robust Youth College Readiness Program to assist StreetLeaders in preparing for college. As part of the work with college students, UPT has a dedicated Trustees Scholarship Program that helps students offset college costs to ensure that no students graduate with staggering debt.

UrbanPromise Trenton was launched in July 2011 under the leadership of Carl Clark Jr, one of the first camp kids of UrbanPromise in Camden in 1988, and Phyllis Jones, a long-time UrbanPromise Camden supporter.
