The Trevor Project to Implement Layoffs and Restructuring in Significant ‘Transformation’ Effort


The Trevor Project, a LGBTQ youth suicide prevention organization, has announced a restructuring that will include layoffs and changes in response to a challenging environment for LGBTQ advocacy groups. President-elect Trump’s anti-transgender rhetoric and policies have raised concerns. The organization’s financial reports show increased expenses, attributed to investments in research, advocacy, and crisis intervention services. The restructuring will focus on providing more support to LGBTQ young people in crisis and will result in a smaller staff.

The announcement of layoffs and restructuring took staff by surprise and has caused stress and anxiety. The union representing Trevor Project staff was not adequately prepared to address the impact of the changes. Despite concerns from employees, the CEO maintains that the changes are necessary to adapt to the current fundraising environment and to continue providing support to LGBTQ youth.

One employee expressed concerns about the impact of the transformation on the organization’s work and questioned the management’s decisions. However, the CEO defended the strategic investments made by the organization in programs to address LGBTQ youth suicide.

The timing of the transformation, just before the start of the incoming administration, has raised concerns about the future of LGBTQ rights and support. Despite the challenges posed by the restructuring, the organization remains committed to its mission of supporting LGBTQ youth in crisis.
