HMI creates a safer environment for all LGBTQIA+ youth ages 13-24 by cultivating youth co-led programs that are unwaveringly anti-racist, queer and transgender affirming, sex and body positive, anti-classist, healing-centered, liberation-focused, and widely accessible.Our approach to positive youth development is one that seeks to build a loving, supportive community and sense of belonging between LGBTQIA+ youth and caring, dependable adult service providers, where we offer youth the essential direct services and referrals they need to grow.Through our community-centered, innovative, and culturally responsive frameworks of youth engagement, HMI aims to endow our youth members both with a sense of pride and empowerment, and the tools they need to transition confidently into the future.
