The Trevor Project reviews

Trevor's current board chair keeps a firm grip on the organization and actively micro manages the day to day operations. Recently, it was announced that the board selected one of its own as the new CEO. This move should indicate that the board wants to be more involved in operations. Trevor will most likely continue to do good work, but the striking management choices and turnover at the executive and VP level should be acknowledged, especially for those seeking employment within the organization.

Lack of company culture and appreciation of staff and volunteers. Little to no knowledge or best practices in relation to cultural competency. Lack of support for staff with little to no continued education opportunities or room for growth. Lack of diversity (women, trans, people of color, etc.) on the board and executive leadership. Focus is often board and donor focused, with areas such as prevention, education and advocacy lacking support and funding. Lack of leadership and transparency in decision making on the executive level. Little to no team building, often resulting in breakdown in communication between employees and upper management resulting in lack of motivation. In my years at Trevor the same issues surfaced year after year, and year after year no resolutions or solutions were found leaving staff and volunteers often feeling unappreciated and defeated leading to high employee turnover. The result; losing crucial and valuable institutional knowledge needed for the growth, success, and advancement of the organization. Salaries and benefits are not great.
