Dustin Lance Black and Neil Patrick Harris, two well-known faces in the fight for the well-being of GLBTQ youth, have been elected to the Trevor Project Board of Directors.

"Because Dustin Lance Black and Neil Patrick Harris have already demonstrated their tireless commitment to LGBTQ youth and The Trevor Project, we are thrilled to welcome them to our leadership team," said Charles Robbins, executive director and CEO, The Trevor Project. "As prominent members of the entertainment community, they will certainly help raise awareness about The Trevor Project's programs and their insight will be invaluable as we work to empower young people with the crisis intervention skills and suicide prevention resources they need."

Dustin Lance Black issued a response today, saying, "All of the work we're doing today to win LGBT equality is for these young people's futures. So it is vital that we ensure they survive today's challenges so they might know tomorrow's freedoms. I'm honored to have the opportunity to continue and expand my involvement with this lifesaving organization as a member of the Board of Directors."

Neil Patrick Harris spoke about his election as well. "I've been a longtime supporter of The Trevor Project, and I'm excited to become even more actively involved in raising awareness of its unique and vital mission," he said. "I hope that my involvement with The Trevor Project will help bring attention to the need for effective crisis and suicide prevention services for LGBTQ youth nationwide.”
