nextgenNextGen is a community of volunteers located in New York and Los Angeles dedicated to supporting The Trevor Project’s mission to end suicide among LGBTQ youth by serving as an entry point for programmatic volunteers, spreading awareness about The Trevor Project’s services, supporting leadership development and advocacy for the LGBTQ community, encouraging lasting engagement with The Trevor Project by building fellowship and camaraderie amongst our diverse group of volunteers, and fundraising to provide financial support for The Trevor Project’s life-affirming resources.

When The Trevor Project’s Board of Directors established the Trevor Ambassadors in 2009, they laid out a vision for key volunteer groups that would help deliver Trevor’s life-saving, life-affirming message in regions beyond our bi-coastal headquarters. Now, the Trevor Ambassadors have grown into a network of inspiring volunteers in major cities around the country who help to expand our reach, raise awareness of our programs, raise life-saving funds, plan regional events, and advocate for the young people we serve. Ambassadors are an integral part of our mission to prevent suicide among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) young people.

Trevor Ambassadors and NextGen create a welcoming presence for LGBTQ youth during local Pride celebrations by recruiting volunteers for tabling and parades.

Panel discussions, guest speaker events, and community outreach are just some of the ways Trevor Ambassadors and NextGen make an impact in their cities.

Events help support the life-saving programs offered by The Trevor Project. They’re a great way to engage individual, corporate, and community supporters who may want to make a difference in a young person’s future!

Local advocacy that works to support LGBTQ young people can be lifechanging. Ambassadors and NextGen members are encouraged to collaborate with suicide prevention partners nationwide.
