This National Volunteer Appreciation Week, we're celebrating the people who help make The Trevor Project’s mission possible—our dedicated volunteers.

Whether they’re answering messages from LGBTQ+ young people in crisis or helping behind the scenes, Trevor volunteers show up with compassion, strength, and an unwavering commitment to affirming every young person just as they are.

Meet Lisa Sugarman (she/her), a current Trevor volunteer who shares what this experience means to her:

“As far as I’m concerned, there’s no greater gift than being able to help make a positive impact on someone’s life.”

Read Lisa’s full interview and find out what volunteering with Trevor is really like.

Just Released: Volunteer Voices in Action

Today, we shared a heartfelt video message from one of our Trevor volunteers across our social channels. Their words are powerful—and just might inspire your next step.

Support from individuals like you enables The Trevor Project to continue our work to end LGBTQ+ youth suicide through our crisis services as well as the development of resources and guides like these to promote education and allyship.
