Review for The Trevor Project, Inc., West Hollywood, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

The Trevor Project provides an invaluable resource for troubled members of the LBGT community. Personally growing up in a very religious environment, I contemplated suicide several times. I made it through the ordeal via repression and extreme denial. Had I known about the existence of this group, it would undoubtedly have made me aware that I was not alone. Made me aware that there are people who would accept me for who I was. Instead, I spent the majority of my youth terrified to give any indication of a predilection for the same sex, and in fact went to the opposite extreme to avoid suspicion. If the Trevor Project could be integrated into America's schools, its vital educational programs would become the new frontier of suicide prevention, especially in the LBGT community.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

the volunteers who are energized and sincerely care about reaching out to the troubled LBGT members.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

seeing how far things have progressed in regard to associations geared towards counseling the LBGT community.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

sincere and earnest about their work.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

make itself well-known across the country, and perhaps internationally, providing invaluable counseling to individuals who truly need it.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2009

Role:  General Member of the Public & Heard about the project through several friends actively involved.
