The Point
Foundation announced Wednesday in Los Angeles that its
new executive director will be Jorge Valencia. He
comes to the mentoring and scholarship organization
for LGBT students from the Trevor Project, a
prominent L.A.–based group that operates a
suicide-prevention hotline for gay youths, where he's
served as executive director since 2001.
"I could not be more thrilled at the selection
of Jorge Valencia," Bruce Lindstrom, the foundation's
founder and interim executive director, said in a
statement. "His expertise in and passion for helping
lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth—coupled
with his demonstrated ability to manage and grow nonprofit
organizations—makes him an ideal leader for the Point Foundation."
Valencia was selected after a nationwide search
and will assume his position in January. (The
