Creating an Inclusive World

As part of our partnership with Verizon, thousands of their employees came together to thank you for your work as a volunteer with The Trevor Project. Each individual took their time to choose photos, quotes and write messages with you in mind. Please find inspiration as you enjoy the digital mural here.
Know that you are appreciated!

The world is a happier place because you are in it! Thank you for all that you do <3 Support in the hardest times of our lives is something that is taken for granted sometimes, as a kid, I didn't have the support I needed, I would have been SO GREATFUL for someone like you! Please know how valuable you are!

Thank you so much for all of the time and support you provide to people in need of assistance. Many appreciate the work you do. I, for one, am very appreciative because we know someone who was suicidal that is likely here today because of some of the work that volunteers like yourself have done. Thank you very much!

Thank you for supporting queer you at their most vulnerable point in their lives. As a queer person myself, I couldn't have made it where I am today without support from people who love me and see me as I am without judgement. Some of these kids don't have that, and you are their rock. Your work is indispensable and something we need desperately in this country. Just know that so many people have your back, and in your hardest moments know that you've touched and improved so many lives. Again, thank you.

​

Your rainbow connection.

Having support is rarely, unconditional and without prejudice, as it should be. Having volunteers willing to be there is more than enough. I hope as volunteers you see that, and that the people you're able to support see it to.
