The mission of The Friends of The Paterno Trivium is to care for and protect the Paterno Trivium - a small but vital green refuge, in an urban environment, where our community comes together.

How is this achieved?

The Paterno Trivium is a non-enclosed NYC Greenstreets Project, located at West 187th Street in Manhattan, where Cabrini Boulevard and Pinehurst Avenue converge.

As a non-profit (501(c)3 corporation, The Friends of Paterno Trivium nurtures this shared space through stewardship, partnership, and collective effort, ensuring it remains a place of beauty, history, and connection. By bringing neighbors together to care, gather, and celebrate, we keep this heart of our neighborhood alive.
