Hetrick-Martin Institute is a brand dedicated to providing essential services and support to LGBTQIA+ youth. With a focus on community, basic needs, health, education, and career services, Hetrick-Martin works tirelessly to create a safe and inclusive environment for young people between the ages of 13 and 24 and their families. Their comprehensive package of direct services and referrals aims to foster healthy youth development and promote excellence in the delivery of youth services.

What sets Hetrick-Martin apart is their rich history as the nation's oldest organization focused on helping queer youth achieve their full potential. Founded in 1979 by Dr. Emery Hetrick and Dr.

Damien Martin, the brand began as a response to the alarming lack of support for homeless LGBTQIA+ youth. Today, Hetrick-Martin continues to make strides in advocacy and capacity building through their Center for LGBTQIA+ Youth Advocacy and works closely with the Harvey Milk High School to provide education and support to at-risk youth. In addition to their commitment to mental health, education, healthcare, and economic empowerment, Hetrick-Martin also believes in creating safe spaces for transgender and gender-liberated youth.

Their goal is to ensure that all young people can live as their true authentic selves without fear or stigma. Choose Hetrick-Martin as your ally in supporting LGBTQIA+ youth and join their mission to create a brighter, more inclusive future for all
