Some youth look forward to seeing old friends, while some are nervous about making new friends or seeing last year\u2019s bully.<\/p>\n<p>For LGBTQ2S youth, heading back to school is a complex experience. They not only have to figure out what is expected of them this year and how to succeed in their new classes, they are also navigating challenging dynamics with peers and teachers. Imagine needing to coach your teachers on your preferred name and pronouns\u2014a name that may be different from what\u2019s on your teacher\u2019s paperwork. They\u2019re bound to feel nervous and anxious, but as LGBTQ2S youth head back to school this month, the LGBT Youth Line is here to support them.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16071\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width: 600px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16071\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/LGBTQ-Youth-Line-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/LGBTQ-Youth-Line-2.jpg 946w, https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/LGBTQ-Youth-Line-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/LGBTQ-Youth-Line-2-768x510.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">Photo courtesy of: Ali J Eisner.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When LGBT youth call, text, or chat online with Youth Line, they\u2019re connecting with another LGBTQ2S young person who is able to support them as they share their experiences with our volunteers who are trained to listen. We provide an affirmative peer support service that is confidential and free from judgement. We don\u2019t tell youth what to do.\u00a0Rather, we listen to their concerns and help them navigate their teenage years by providing support, active listening, information, comfort, referrals and affirmation.<\/p>\n<p>In 1999, 17-year-old Valerie called us to ask for advice about getting through some hard times. The Youth Line volunteers cheered her on and helped her face these difficulties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw this sticker on the pay phones at the subway station near school,\u201d said Valerie. \u201cIt had Youth Line&#8217;s number and hours. For a few weeks I would walk to the pay phones on a street near my house after dinner with the dog, call, wait for someone to pick up, and hang up! One day, the voice on the other end of the line sounded especially kind, and so I talked. I honestly can&#8217;t remember any of the context of what I said, but it wasn&#8217;t the &#8220;problem&#8221; I called about that mattered. It was that volunteer&#8217;s kind, steady voice. They sounded steady, fun, and relatable, almost like someone I could be friends with, and I didn&#8217;t feel judged.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Today, Valerie\u2019s a successful non-profit fundraiser who\u2019s supportive of Youth Line\u2019s work and grateful we\u2019re still here to support LGBTQ2S youth. LGBT Youth Line have been offering this kind of peer support for more than 23 years, and it\u2019s essential that youth have someone to reach out to when they need it the most.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16072\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width: 600px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16072\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/LGBTQ-Youth-Line.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/LGBTQ-Youth-Line.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/LGBTQ-Youth-Line-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/LGBTQ-Youth-Line-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/LGBTQ-Youth-Line-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">This is Valerie.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Like Valerie experienced, LGBT Youth Line provides life-changing support for LGBTQ2S youth across Ontario. Our volunteers spend hundreds of hours on the lines each year, supporting young people in moments of questioning, difficulty, abandonment, loneliness, and uncertainty. Our volunteers are youth age 26 and under who take time out of their busy school and work schedules to give their valuable time to Youth Line and make a positive impact in the lives of their LGBTQ2S peers. Our youth volunteers are online and on the phone 6 days a week, 33 hours a week. That is over 1,720 hours of service a year by youth, for youth. They are happy to work with us because they remember a time when they needed help and someone supported them. They give back and do so very generously, but the demand for our services keeps growing.<\/p>\n<p>One of our current volunteers will tell you: \u201cI love volunteering at LGBT Youth Line. I love spending time with fellow volunteers, and having access to a supportive, knowledgeable group of LGBTQ2S peers. I love taking calls and chats from LGBTQ2S youth, and being able to make a difference in their lives. I also love being able to support other volunteers, and learn from each other how to better help callers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This Pride season, we\u2019ve reached out to the community with province-wide outreach to get the word out about our services. We want LGBTQ2S youth to know who to call when they\u2019re heading back to school and they are faced with challenges. If you or someone you know could use our services, we\u2019re here to listen when they call: 1-800-268-9688 (toll-free over the phone) or 647-694-4275 (text). Youth seeking support can also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youthline.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chat with our team online<\/a> via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youthline.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.youthline.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We believe that youth can and do make the world better, and we\u2019re here to help them do it.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>To learn more about the Lesbian Gay Bi Trans Youth Line, or to make a donation, visit their <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/en\/charities\/lesbian-gay-bi-trans-youth-line\/\"><strong>Charity Profile Page<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charity Spotlight: This blog post was provided by Tanya Neumeyer, Fundraising Coordinator at Lesbian Gay Bi Trans Youth Line, as part of our ongoing charity &#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/en\/giving-life\/connecting-with-charities\/extending-a-line-to-lgbtq2s-youth-in-need\/\" id=\"canadahelp-blog-meta\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":16073,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[17,179,1144,1146,1145,115,971,379],"class_list":["post-16070","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-connecting-with-charities","tag-charity","tag-charity-spotlight","tag-lesbian-gay-bi-trans-youth-line","tag-lgbtq2s","tag-school","tag-toronto","tag-volunteers","tag-youth"],"acf":{"meta_description":"","author_bio":false,"date_to_display":true},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Extending a Line to LGBTQ2S Youth in Need | CanadaHelps - Donate to any charity in Canada<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/en\/giving-life\/connecting-with-charities\/extending-a-line-to-lgbtq2s-youth-in-need\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Extending a Line to LGBTQ2S Youth in Need | CanadaHelps - Donate to any charity in Canada\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Charity Spotlight: This blog post was provided by Tanya Neumeyer, Fundraising Coordinator at Lesbian Gay Bi Trans Youth Line, as part of our ongoing charity ...
