"This practicum is hard, but you can do it. You have plenty of support to guide you through it, and the contacts, generally speaking, just want to connect with someone else. So you can do this. Trust me: you’ll thank yourself afterward." - Former Practicum Volunteer Crisis Counselor

“I had heard of the positive impact that The Trevor Project has had, on the countless lives of youth and young adults within the LGBTQ+ community. I knew when the time came to complete my practicum, I wanted to be part of making a difference and join The Trevor Project family. I am honored and I feel so privileged that I can proudly serve as a digital counselor within this organization. I am proud to say that as time goes on, I become more and more confident in being able to hold a space that feels safe, met with empathy, respect, non-judgment, and an open mind. Since joining The Trevor Project, I have grown not just professionally but personally. I am able to take the skills I have learned and implement them in daily life. This is not just a practicum to complete; it is a journey that I am committed to with The Trevor Project to meet our vision.” - Former Practicum Volunteer Crisis Counselor
