Review for The Trevor Project, Inc., West Hollywood, CA, USA
I first became aware of the The Trevor Project several years ago, because I wanted to go to a pool party. What I learned there changed my view of social responsibility. From my experience as a gay kid who grew up in a highly intolerant environment, I understood the tough issues that LGBTQ youth face at a very young age--and that the consequences are sometimes, and needlessly, tragic. The Trevor Project provides lifesaving services to the under-served and at-risk LGBTQ youth population. I have watched the organization grow over the last several years, and am proud to serve on its board.

the demand for our services is increasing a rate that challenges our infrastructure. The biggest challenge facing The Trevor Project is the need for what we do, and the increasing visibility as we reach more at-risk youth.
