Trevor Project is "Sharing Space" to Celebrate Transgender Day of Visibility

Sharing Space group moderated by Daniel Radcliffe

In light of the record number of anti-LGBTQ – and specifically, anti-trans – bills across the country, The Trevor Project believes trans and nonbinary young people should be able to tell their own stories. To mark Transgender Day of Visibility (celebrated each year on March 31st), we’re launching the first episode of “Sharing Space,” our new video series featuring roundtable-style conversations with LGBTQ youth moderated by curious, open-minded adults and allies. The first episode of this educational series is moderated by longtime supporter of The Trevor Project, Daniel Radcliffe.

“We listen to so many people talk about trans youth and hear them talked about so often in the news, but very rarely do we actually hear from these youth directly,” Radcliffe says about the first episode. “It was an absolute privilege to get to meet and listen to this incredible group of young people. At the end of the day, if you’re going to talk about trans kids, it might be useful to actually listen to trans kids.”

“Sharing Space” will drop new episodes throughout the year, and each episode will feature a different theme, host, and group of LGBTQ young people.  The first episode of “Sharing Space” features six transgender and nonbinary young people who sit down with Radcliffe to have a candid conversation about their personal journeys and lived experiences. A vocal advocate for LGBTQ rights, Radcliffe helps facilitate a heartfelt discussion exploring topics such as gender euphoria, respecting pronouns, self-discovery, and what genuine allyship looks like.

“Sharing Space” provides a much-needed platform for young trans and nonbinary voices, bringing humanity to identities that are often marginalized, misunderstood, and weaponized in political spheres. Today marks Trans Day of Visibility, a time to listen to and affirm trans young people in our lives. Take the time to watch our first episode of the series and hear from trans and nonbinary young people about how we can all be better allies today – and all year round.

A Message from The Trevor Project Leadership

To our Trevor community: After several years of fast growth and commensurate financial support, we are now facing a tenuous economic climate. In order for The Trevor Project to continue to operate sustainably, we will need to conduct a reduction in our workforce in the next month. This is a deeply difficult decision, which we have come to realize as a last resort after taking other actions and exploring several paths, including but not limited to budget cuts, hiring freezes, limiting non-urgent travel, and more. The wellbeing of our community is of paramount importance to us, and we are doing what…

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. To celebrate Volunteer Appreciation Week, we reached out to two of our longest-serving volunteers, Barry and Kent, and Pax from our Volunteer Recruitment team, to talk about the importance of volunteers, their life-saving impact, and how much we at Trevor appreciate their work.  Kent and Barry (he/him) are married, live in Manhattan, and come from large, loving families. In addition to volunteering at Trevor, they enjoy seeing friends and family, being in NYC, and traveling (especially to New Zealand where…
