Review for The Trevor Project, Inc., West Hollywood, CA, USA
I've volunteered for the Trevor Project for two years. It's a fantastic organization committed to saving young lives and providing young LGBTQ people with resources and hope for a brighter tomorrow. I can attest firsthand to the support Trevor provides, and the actual difference it makes in young people's lives. So many of the young people Trevor helps say that they have never had anyone tell them they are normal and OK - that first step is huge. Many have never had anyone listen to them or take their concerns seriously. And Trevor literally saves lives every day. Trevor's services include The Trevor Helpline - a suicide prevention and crisis helpline, Dear Trevor - an online letter-response forum for young people in crisis or with questions, TrevorSpace - a safe, monitored social networking site for LGBTQ youth, The Trevor Lifeguard Workshop Program - which provides information and real stories and resources to educators and young people, and the Trevor Survival Kit - a toolkit sent to educators, social service agencies, etc. Awesome non-profit!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the young people we help. As a helpline counselor, I have had the opportunity to hear a panicked person who was ready to take their own life calm down and gain perspective after being listened to and talked with.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
work with more media outlets like LGBTQ film festivals, magazines, blogs, etc. to help raise visibility.

the real difference it makes. And the great volunteers and staff. Such great people!
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
all different types of people, of all ages, races, sexual orientations and identities. Amazing people, every one.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
expand its educational outreach programs to ensure that every young person in school is aware of and has access to Trevor's resources.
