2019 Volunteer of the Year

April 8, 2019

To kick off Volunteer Appreciation Week, we are excited to celebrate Nolan Manning as our Volunteer of the Year. At our Volunteer Appreciation Night on April 4, we were proud to honor Nolan with this award for his incredible dedication to youth and families in crisis across the nation.

“The opportunity to impact people’s lives through genuine connections keeps me coming back. Each shift humbles me and puts my own problems in perspective, and the camaraderie with other volunteers is a bonus to the entire experience.” – Nolan Manning

When Chicago faced the Polar Vortex with subzero weather, Nolan still came in to our crisis services center to provide critical support to youth in need. His compassion and empathy provides each person who connects with him on the lines a safe place to explore the issues they face whether it be bullying, abuse, or homelessness. Nolan was even recently featured in the Lake View Patch!

Thank you Nolan for all that you do!

In celebration of Volunteer Appreciation Week, follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram as we will be highlighting more of our amazing team of crisis liners throughout the week!

Supporting Youth Who Identify as LGBTQIA2S+

Youth who identify as LGBTQIA2S+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, Two-Spirit, and other gender and sexual identities) face unique challenges, often systemic, that can lead to homelessness or make them feel left with no other choice but to running away for their safety and well-being. Understanding these challenges and knowing how to provide support can make a significant difference in their lives.

LGBTQIA2S+ youth are disproportionately affected by homelessness. According to the True Colors Fund, up to 40% of homeless youth identify as LGBTQIA2S+. These young people may face rejection from their families, discrimination in housing and employment, and a lack of supportive resources. This environment of rejection and discrimination can lead to mental health issues, substance abuse, and a higher risk of victimization on the streets.
