“Empire” star Jussie Smollett has joined the Trevor Project’s new campaign “How to Save a Life.”

The national campaign aims to encourage people to volunteer for the Trevor Project’s suicide prevention and crisis intervention programs for LGBTQ youths.

“More LGBTQ youth in crisis are reaching out to us than ever before – many over text and chat, two increasingly prevalent forms of communication for young people,” Amit Paley, CEO & Executive Director of The Trevor Project said in a statement.“Just over the last year our youth text conversations have increased by 165%. Training more volunteer crisis counselors, along with AT&T’s products and services, will help us connect even more young people with our life-affirming crisis services.”

Smollett stars in a PSA to recruit more volunteers to the organization.

“It’s heartbreaking to think of the amount of LGBTQ youth out there who feel hopeless and alone, or think they don’t have support,” Smollett said in a press release. “Just one supportive person can decrease an LGBTQ youth’s risk of suicide by 30 percent, and The Trevor Project is giving everyone the amazing opportunity to be that person.”
