BECOME A MEMBER

Be A Part Of The Legacy.

Becoming an HMI youth member is easy, and gives you a safe place to join other LGBTQIA+ youth in programs that will lift you up, help you learn, and let you express yourself.

Anyone ages 13-24 can become an HMI member.

You don’t have to be in school or have a permanent address. If you are in education, it doesn’t matter which school you attend. Programs and services are free and we are open 6 days a week, all year-round.

You are welcome here.

Our programs and services are designed with LGBTQIA+ youth in mind. LGBTQIA+ stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender, Questioning, Intersex and Asexual. HMI is a safe space for all youth ages 13-24, regardless of sexual orientation or identity. No matter how you identify, you are welcome here. Come join us!

How to join HMI:

  • Send an email or a text to join@hmi.org with your name and phone number (if you have one) and we will contact you. 
  • We also offer walk-in intakes on a first-come, first-serve basis Monday-Friday from 4-7 pm. If you decide to do a walk-in instead of scheduling ahead of time, please arrive by 5:30 pm, since the latest intake appointment will be at 6 pm.
  • If possible, bring a form of ID with your picture and proof of age.
