The Trevor Project was founded more than two decades ago to respond to a public health crisis impacting LGBTQ youth — a crisis whose magnitude is huge, and one that they have worked tirelessly to end. LGBTQ young people are more than four times more likely to attempt suicide than their peers, and suicide remains the second leading cause of death among all young people in the United States. Thanks to the work of their team, volunteers, and supporters across the country, The Trevor Project has become the leading global organization responding to the crisis of LGBTQ youth suicide. They have grown from a 24/7 phone Lifeline reaching several thousand youth per year, to a preeminent resource for LGBTQ youth in crisis — one that remains the primary resource for over half of the youth who reach out to them. While continuing to grow the impact of their Lifeline substantially, they have also launched on-demand digital services for youth to reach out 24/7 over text and online. In addition, they created TrevorSpace, the largest safe space social network for LGBTQ youth to connect — not just in the United States, but in over 100 countries across the globe.
