Thomas Krever, the executive director of the Hetrick-Martin Institute, says they help gay youth retain jobs and receive an education through various programs, such as an LGBT GED program. They help students with college placement, FAFSA forms, as well as health programs such as HIV and pregnancy testing. They even hold an LGBTQ college fair.
Though places like Hetrick Martin exist to help gay youth, it's still not enough. At the Ali Forney Center, Carl Siciliano explained that the center houses gay youth nightly, though they only have resources to house so many kids.
