Pros

never worked at a non-profit that had such a laser focus on its mission. trevor is helping more lgbtq youth on its crisis services than ever before and has plans to expand the number of kids and the quality of services even more over the next few years. as a kid who grew up without knowing the trevor project existed, i am so impressed and grateful that everyone is working so hard to help even more queer and trans kids. it's definitely not easy work, but i'm grateful to work for a place that cares about being there for every single LGBTQ+ young person who needs us.

Cons

-wish we could go back to the office -hoping for more social events -would love to see more professional training

Pros

huge feeling of gratitude to be at a place that is making a difference & changing the lives of so many lgbtq+ kids. also huge gratitude to be at a place that is still growing and has stability despite covid and the recession. some of the best folx i have ever met work here and i am learning a lot.

Cons

i get a lot of energy from being around people so its been tough to work from home. i know people ops is doing everything they can to give us resources and tips. and i appreciate that a lot. but its not the same as being in the same place together. i miss everyone so much!

Pros

The counselors and staff are amazing--a team of ROCKSTARS. The mission is so vital, now more than ever. And this is one of the few LGBTQ organizations that is not only not shrinking during Corona, but is actually hiring and growing. All the things being done to support the staff during Covid, like the extra personal day, mean a lot. It's a really, really special place.

Cons

I'm loving the new professional development initiatives and lunch & learn sessions coming up, but can we have them be at different times for those of us who can't join on Wednesdays?
