We know that young people who come out as LGBT during their critical formative years are more likely than others to drop out of school or get kicked out of their homes for being themselves. That’s why we work to make schools safer for all students through our anti-bullying initiatives like our Start Strong: Building Healthy Teen Relationships program.
The Trevor Project also operates a social networking site called Trevor

The Trevor Project is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded in 1998 by writers James Lecesne, Peggy Rajski and Randy Stone. The Trevor Project was formed in response to the lack of resources available to LGBTQ youth facing issues with their sexuality or gender identity. This crisis led to the 1998 Academy Award® winning short film, Trevor. The movie focuses on a 13 year-old boy named Trevor who attempts suicide after being rejected by his peers when they discover he is gay.
Since its inception, The Trevor Project has become a lifeline for thousands of LGBTQ youth nationwide. In 2015 alone, our trained Crisis Counselors responded to more than 34,000 contacts from LGBTQ youth across the country through our hotline, chat and text services. In addition to providing life-saving support during times of crisis, The Trevor Project also offers training programs for educators and counselors throughout the country on how to best support LGBTQ youth – especially in at risk environments such as schools or religious centers.
