The Hetrick-Martin Institute was co-founded in 1979 by Emery S. Hetrick and Damien Martin, life partners committed to building a safe and just future for lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth. Today, the Hetrick-Martin Institute is the oldest and largest not-for-profit multi-service agency serving gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth. The Institute serves more than 7,500 youth each year with a broad range of vital services including individual, group, and family counseling; an after-school Drop-In Center; the Harvey Milk School; training on issues of sexuality and HIV/AIDS for youth and professionals; youth leadership programs; and Project First Step and Cafe HMI for homeless youth. For more information, contact The Hetrick-Martin Institute at 2 Astor Place, New York, NY 10003, 212-274-2400 or email hmi@hmi.org. Look for Hetrick-Martin's web site - coming in early 1998.
