We here at www.SpashleyU.com really wanted a way to give back to the community that South of Nowhere has given a voice and visibility to. For too long there has been a serious lack of strong GLBT lead characters in shows geared towards the 16 – 21 age range. An age when we are struggling with who we are, what we like and what we will become, we need to see ourselves reflected back in the media, to know that we are not alone in the struggle to be who we are.

Just as South of Nowhere provided GLBT and questioning youth with a voice on national television through the groundbreaking characters of Spencer Carlin and Ashley Davies, The Trevor Project has been there to listen to over 100,000 voices on their hotline. We decided to pay tribute to this show, its creator, Tom Lynch and the cast and crew by giving back in its name to the community that it gave a voice to. As South of Nowhere has made a difference in our lives, we can help make a difference in others. Don’t Silence Us.

What is The Trevor Project?
