Listening Organization (II)
April 17, 2014
The organization I have chosen is The Trevor Project. This organization began after an actor by the name of James Lecesne portrayed a character that was created as part of his prizewinning, oneman show titled “Word of Mouth.” Two producers by the names of Randy
Stone and Peggy Rajski felt like this story would make a wonderful short film, and the
Oscarwinning film eventually created a nationwide movement. After filming, Rajski realized that there was actually no genuine place for young people like the character of Trevor to go when they face similar challenges. In 1998 these producers launched The Trevor Lifeline; the first nationwide, nonprofit organization that provide crisis intervention and suicide prevention support to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and inquiring youth.
Ever since then, so many young people (ages 1324) have reached out and been positively affected by The Trevor Project’s facetoface and online support. Other resources include:
TrevorChat, TrevorSpace, Ask Trevor, and Trevor Education Workshops.
The Trevor Project
The Trevor Project is determined by its mission to end all suicide among LGBTQ youth by providing lifesaving resources like I mentioned above, to create a completely supportive and safe haven for everyone. The ultimate vision of The Trevor Project is a future where opportunities and dreams for all youth are the same regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. All of the Board of Directors and staff of The Trevor Project focus its energies in areas of creating and providing effective quality services, ensure maximum outreach and visibility, and advocating for public policy that helps accomplish their mission. They also continuously work to improve existing and developing new skills to reach their audiences and to identify resources that help sustain and expand many programs. Some of the goals toward outreach and visibility include increasing visibility of The Trevor Project services to youth across
America, and using fundraiser events to increase media recognition. I believe that some of the

industrialised nations to inject the capital. There is now an expectation that business complies and there are specialist organisations and websites set up to advise business how to adapt to the new carbon change regulations. The Carbon Disclosure project and The Carbon Trust are examples. A major issue to be addressed is whether Australia is prepared to slow our economic growth to ease the global warming problem and groups such as the Investor Group on Climate change to encourage investment and…
apparent similarities between the two dictator's policies. Running Comparison: key differences with nuances Nature of Empire While both Hitler and Mussolini sought to embark upon imperialist ventures, the nature of their respective imperial projects differed importantly. Hitler's drive for lebensraum in the East was based upon the Nazi's carefully developed racial theories, which also included an important economic element. According to Hitler's vision of the Aryan 'master race', the Slavic…
The other day I witnessed a very disturbing incident in my graphics class. Kelan Graddy was just minding his own business trying to become the best Pokémon trainer he could be, when out of nowhere Rory&Todd approached him and began talking poke-crap to him. How could Kelan claim to love Pokémon and yet forsake the original game for the newer and bastardized version of their beloved game? Soon, it was an all-out nerd shake down. It started with a verbal attack, and when Kelan tried to defend himself…
managers and other concerned stakeholders are the negative consequences of high employee turnovers which are often reflected in product and service quality, consistency and stability of services exchanged for money with clients and customers in general (Trevor and Nyberg, 2008).
