Hi Friend,
As I reach my 100th day as CEO of The Trevor Project, I want to take a moment to reflect on some of the invaluable insights and experiences I've gained. These first few months have been inspiring and enlightening, and I’m excited to continue our shared journey toward a brighter and more joyful future for LGBTQ+ young people.
** Understanding Our Mission in Action
------------------------------------------------------------
One of the most profound lessons I've learned is how critical our crisis intervention and suicide prevention programs are to achieving our mission. By integrating these efforts, we ensure that every LGBTQ+ young person reaching out receives the comprehensive support they need.
** Why LGBTQ+ Youth Reach Out
------------------------------------------------------------
Our interactions have helped us identify the top five reasons LGBTQ+ young people turn to us for help:
1. Mental Health: Navigating anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges.
2. Relationships: Building and maintaining healthy relationships or navigating complicated ones.
3. Family: Addressing family dynamics and seeking acceptance.
4. Gender Identity: Exploring and affirming their gender identity.
5. Coming Out: Sharing their authentic selves with the world.
** A Strong and Recognized Brand
------------------------------------------------------------
I've been heartened by the goodwill surrounding The Trevor Project. The recognition we receive in communities is a testament to the trust and respect we've built together. It underscores the impactful work we’re doing and the life-changing difference we make for so many young people.
** Passion of Our Team
------------------------------------------------------------
Witnessing the passion of our staff and volunteers has been truly inspiring. Their dedication is invaluable and enables so many young people to get the support they need and deserve.
** Energized Supporters
------------------------------------------------------------
The energy from our supporters—donors ([link removed](i.e.e-newsletter)&utm_source=emailsegment-wholefile1&utm_campaign=generaleffort) , partners ([link removed](i.e.e-newsletter)&utm_source=emailsegment-wholefile1&utm_campaign=generaleffort) , and advocates ([link removed](i.e.e-newsletter)&utm_source=emailsegment-wholefile1&utm_campaign=generaleffort) —continues to inspire me. Your enthusiasm and dedication fuel our efforts, allowing us to expand our reach and enhance our services for LGBTQ+ youth in need.
** A Diverse and Dynamic Executive Team
------------------------------------------------------------
I have the privilege of working alongside the most diverse executive team I’ve ever encountered. Their varied perspectives and experiences enrich our strategies and ensure that we approach our mission with inclusivity and innovation.
These first 100 days have reinforced my belief in Trevor’s mission and work and the bright future ahead. As we move forward, I am thrilled to build on these insights and set a clear path for our continued impact.
Thank you for your unwavering support and belief in our mission. Together, we’re creating a world where every LGBTQ+ young person feels safe, supported, and empowered.
With gratitude and community,
