The Trevor Project

View Company Profile

The Trevor Project (operating at thetrevorproject.org) is a nonprofit suicide prevention and mental health organization engineered for LGBTQ+ young people. Founded in 1998 by Celeste Lecesne, Peggy Rajski, and Randy Stone, and headquartered in West Hollywood, United States, The Trevor Project addresses the critical need for crisis intervention and support among LGBTQ+ youth, a demographic disproportionately affected by suicide risk. Under the hood, the organization provides 24/7 crisis support services, including a hotline, text, and chat, alongside research and advocacy initiatives to drive systemic change. This allows LGBTQ+ young people to access immediate, life-affirming support and resources, fostering a safer and more inclusive environment. The Trevor Project also builds impact-centered partnerships with major companies to amplify its reach and impact.
