Welcome to Day 2 of Mental Health Week on the We Are For Good Podcast.  Don't miss our roundup of resources to dig deeper at weareforgood.com/mentalhealth

Meet Muneer. As the VP of Foundation, Government, and Corporate Partnerships at The Trevor Project, Muneer’s team focuses on building impact-centered long-term partnerships with some of the world’s largest companies and foundations to help end LGBTQ youth suicide. Companies are not experts in impact. So when we walk into a room with our corporate ask, Muneer says we need to do that through education steeped in our expertise. He’s taking corporate partnerships and ethical movement-building to the next level with his wise counsel and vulnerable storytelling.
