Pros

I've been a volunteer at Trevor for more than a year, answering calls on the Lifeline. Simply put: this place is awesome. The people rock, the work is so fulfilling. How many places can you go and actually know that you helped to literally save lives of people? All the tech transformation work is also really exciting. I'm so happy to see a places that wants to do good and is actually doing good with so much innovation.

Cons

I'd love to see more opportunities for volunteers to get to know each other. I know there have been several socials but I haven't been able to make all of them yet!
