The Trevor Project's work includes a 24-hour phone hotline, in-school workshops, educational materials, online resources, and advocacy. It is a major resource for the administration's antibullying program, StopBullying.gov, and will participate in the Department of Education's antibullying conference at the end of September.
Champions of Change: Winning the Future Across America honors individuals and groups that are innovators in a variety of fields. Each week the White House invites a new champion to share ideas. The Trevor Project will be featured on the Champions of Change website beginning Monday.
