Youth members will disseminate HIV education information, testing reminders, and general safe sex tips via SMS texting, social media websites, and online portals.

Youth Advisory Board
Make the voices of fellow LGBTQ youth and Hetrick-Martin members heard in this paid eight-month internship. You will not only represent your peers and your unique challenges to the Hetrick-Martin Board of Directors, Program Managers, and Staff, but also bring the world of Hetrick-Martin into the community.

Supportive Services
From the first moment a young person enters Hetrick-Martin, a Supportive Services counselor is there. Assessing the safety of each youth, the counselor offers assistance, from the basics of clothing, food, and housing help to interventions, counseling sessions based on individual needs, and referrals to LGBTQ-sensitive agencies. For as long as the youth is involved at Hetrick-Martin, Supportive Services (in conjunction with the After-School Department) will be a part of their care and their family.
