Good Reasons to Feel Proud around Pride

Pride Pride is a celebration of community, resilience, and LGBTQ+ history and culture. It is a time for action, joy, liberation, and change. At Trevor, we’re celebrating the power of us — the strength we have as a community and the difference we can make together for LGBTQ+ young people. This year’s Pride celebration is underway at the same time that a record number of anti-LGBTQ+ policies are being introduced and implemented across the country. Vitriolic and hateful rhetoric against LGBTQ+ people (and trans people, specifically) is amplified every day, and young people are watching. Pride can be a party,…

Styles of Pride: Fashion Forward

Fashion is about so much more than what we wear. It has the power to change the narrative, to push society forward, to help us recognize ourselves.  In celebration of Pride, The Trevor Project set out to tell a story requested by many of the LGBTQ+ young people building community on TrevorSpace, our safe space social networking site: the fashion history of the LGBTQ+ community. We were thrilled to have our long-time partners at Macy’s join us as a sponsor of Styles of Pride: Fashion Forward.  In 2022, Macy’s and The Trevor Project were thrilled to launch a four-year partnership…

Stories of Pride: The Power of Us

Take a moment to meditate on the word community. It’s a word we hear often, but think about what it means in your own life. Community can be a group of friends, a church group, a bowling team, or co-workers at your job. The people that show up for us when times are tough and remind us that we all deserve to feel and be included. Consider how your community has gotten you through tough times. What did knowing you had that unconditional support mean for you and your mental health? This Pride, we’re celebrating community. LGBTQ young people need…

Procter & Gamble Announces Their Fourth Annual “Can’t Cancel Pride” Virtual Event

The Trevor Project's research estimates that at least one LGBTQ+ young person between the ages of 13 and 24 attempts suicide every 45 seconds in the U.S. Currently, about 45% of the youth we serve across our crisis services are youth of color, and we know from our 2022 National Survey on LGBTQ+ Youth Mental Health that many LGBTQ+ young people of color would benefit from increased access to culturally competent mental health support. Trevor centers intersectionality in our work by designing our programs for the many identities that make up the fabric of our community. We use our research to advance visibility, provide…

Exploring Identity for Jewish American Heritage Month

As May rolls around, we recognize Jewish American Heritage Month, a time to celebrate the rich cultural history and contributions of Jewish Americans. As someone from a family with Jewish heritage, this month is a moment to connect to a tradition that is both religious and cultural. I have often been called “one ‘i’ away from having a Jewish last name” (my surname is Bernsten, but often misspelled as Bernstein)and, though I was not raised in a Jewish family, my paternal grandmother came from an Ashkenazi Jewish family in Lithuania and my identity – whether or not I could consider…

Celebrating Ramadan as an LGBTQ Person

Muslims are finishing their final fasts of the holy month of Ramadan. For the last time this month, we will recite prayers, donate to charitable causes, and reflect upon our lives. Soon we will celebrate Eid, a celebratory day for exchanging gifts, sharing food with family and neighbors, and existing in community. The story for young LGBTQ Muslims can be a bit more complicated — it certainly was for me. Ramadan meant putting my faith on full display at school. The response from peers spanned from curious questions — "you can’t even drink water?” — to more hateful comments. On…

Celebrating Volunteer Appreciation Week with Trevor Donors and Staff

The Trevor Project’s community of volunteers is essential to our mission of creating a brighter future for LGBTQ young people.

In addition to volunteering at Trevor, they enjoy seeing friends and family, being in NYC, and traveling (especially to New Zealand where…
