Hi Friend,

A hostile political climate. The pandemic. Racist and transphobic violence. This past year has taken a toll on LGBTQ young people. Now they’re heading back to school where they might not be affirmed or supported in their identity.

You can help ensure that school is a safe space — and provide 24/7 support to LGBTQ young people in crisis. Please make your gift to The Trevor Project’s 2021 Back to School campaign.

This 17-year-old in Iowa shared how her teacher made all the difference:

She also said her teacher “is always looking for ways to improve the environment for LGBTQ youth in our school.”  For educators seeking to affirm and support their LGBTQ students, Trevor’s online Lifeguard Workshop is one of many free resources available to them. It includes lesson plans, empathy and awareness activities, and more. 

We estimate that more than 1.8 million LGBTQ young people in the U.S. seriously consider suicide each year. Help us achieve our goal of creating a safe and affirming world for LGBTQ young people by making schools safe and providing free, 24/7 support. That’s the power of your generosity, Friend —  so please donate today.

Gratefully,

Team Trevor
