Arts and Culture - Exploring the visual, creative, and performing arts—through video filming, editing, and production, photography, a drama group or master classes in dance, movement, voice, and music, or an arts internship —and cultural celebrations helps you explore your own identity, and build relationships.

Health and Wellness - Delicious free meals provided every weekday at Café HMI are just one part of our Health and Wellness programs. Learn how to eat well, fight stress, get information on physical and mental health issues that affect LGBTQ youth, learn more about STDs, HIV, and AIDS—from prevention to testing to living with being HIV-positive—and participate in peer-to-peer groups, as well as trainings in schools and other community-based organizations. HIV, STD and pregnancy testing are available on-site.

Job Readiness and Career Exploration - Want to know what to do with your life? Hetrick-Martin’s programs can help you find the answers—from LGBTQ-focused career fairs to learning job skills to writing a résumé to learning how to ace a job interview. We also assist with on-site internships, off-site externships, job placement, and career counseling.

Academic Enrichment - Our education programs open doors to opportunity through tutoring, media and art classes, computer training, desktop publishing, games, creative writing, college prep (plus workshops for families on college admissions and financial aid), scholarships, internships, performance art, book clubs, film clubs, and much more. Hetrick-Martin can help you get your GED which can be yours in only 12 short weeks. For more information, please contact Sam Stiegler or call 212-674-2400.
