The Trevor Project
Following the Oscar-winning short film Trevor, the Trevor Project was set up to provide a 24-hour hotline for LGBTQ+ youth in crisis. Since ’98 it’s expanded to provide programs for those same young people, educators and allies to learn about coming out and best practices for suicide prevention. Watch the film below that started it all and let’s make sure we continue to make skating a community where people are comfortable being open with their sexuality and gender identity.

Emergency Release Fund
The Emergency Release Fund posts bail for trans people in NYC who’ve been jailed. The existing system often prevents trans people from qualifying for pre-trial release programs, and being in jail makes them even more vulnerable. If you or someone you know is trans or LGBTQ+ and awaiting trial in jail, request bail funds here. Support the mission and help the most marginalized among us. -
