Youth's Lives Every Day
Our community has grown so much over the past 25 years. Together, we have built a network of people dedicated to supporting LGBTQ young people, advocating for their rights, and making sure the world becomes a better place for them. Every person in this growing community of care has unique strengths and passions, whether that’s dancing, pottery, advocacy, running, or reading. Join us in celebrating each other and Trevor’s 25th Anniversary in our 25 Minute Strut Your Strengths Facebook Challenge!
This virtual fundraising challenge is all about what makes you special — and raising funds for The Trevor Project while doing it. You can join the Facebook group now and start fundraising today. Then on March 1, you can officially log your 25 minutes of daily activity of your choice. Join our community on Facebook who are showcasing their skills and interests in support of Trevor!
Follow these simple steps to join our Strut Your Strengths Challenge:
- Register in Facebook Messenger now to log your minutes all month. Choose to create a team or participate solo!
- Follow this link and we’ll automatically create a fundraiser with all the right settings on your behalf. You can edit the details on Facebook upon creation.
While our community struts their strengths, the money they raise helps The Trevor Project continue to provide free, confidential 24/7 suicide prevention and crisis services. This effort will also support Trevor’s ongoing public education, advocacy, and research initiatives, all in hopes of building that world where LGBTQ young people are safe and free to be themselves.
Together, we can help end suicide for LGBTQ young people. Thank you so much for your support and best of luck with the challenge!
