Whois & Analysis for thetrevorproject.org

The Trevor Project is an American non-profit organization founded in 1998 focused on suicide prevention efforts among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning and other queer (LGBTQ+) youth.

Through a toll-free telephone number, it operates "The Trevor Lifeline", a confidential service that offers trained counselors.

The stated goals of the project are to provide crisis intervention and suicide prevention services for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) young people ages 13-24, as well as to offer guidance and resources to parents and educators in order to foster safe, accepting and inclusive environments for all youth, at home and at school.

A crisis hotline is a phone number people can call to get immediate emergency telephone counseling, usually by trained volunteers.

The first such service was founded in England in 1953 and such hotlines have existed in most major cities of the English speaking world at least since the mid-1970s.

Initially set up to help those contemplating suicide, many have expanded their mandate to deal more generally with emotional crises.

Similar hotlines operate to help people in other circumstances, including rape victims, bullying victims, runaway children, human trafficking victims, and people who identify as LGBT or intersex.

LGBT, or GLBT, is an initialism that stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender.

In use since the 1990s, the term is an adaptation of the initialism LGB, which was used to replace the term gay in reference to the LGBT community beginning in the mid-to-late 1980s.

Activists believed that the term gay community did not accurately represent all those to whom it referred.

A toll-free telephone number or freephone number is a telephone number that is billed for all arriving calls instead of incurring charges to the originating telephone subscriber.

For the calling party, a call to a toll-free number from a landline is free of charge.

Youth is the time of life when one is young, but often means the time between childhood and adulthood (maturity).

It is also defined as "the appearance, freshness, vigor, spirit, etc., characteristic of one who is young".

Its definitions of a specific age range varies, as youth is not defined chronologically as a stage that can be tied to specific age ranges; nor can its end point be linked to specific activities, such as taking unpaid work or having sexual relations without consent.
