Tattoo sessions will be pre-booked with limited walk-in slots available. Check out all flash sheets and book your slot in advance via artist IGs:

About the Free to be Youth Project

Founded in 1994, the Free to be Youth Project is the only legal services program in the nation targeted to low income and homeless LGBTQ+ youth. We believe all young people should have life’s basic necessities: a place to live, a source of support, and legal immigration status.

We collaborate with community-based organizations to conduct intakes in spaces queer youth frequently congregate for community and resources. This trauma-informed approach cultivates safety and trust within attorney-client relationships as they navigate immigration, name and gender marker changes, public benefits, housing and shelter advocacy, and more.

Through our comprehensive know-your-rights workshops and client empowerment initiatives, we utilize a proactive community education model to replace cycles of poverty with those of queer strength, resistance, and joy. By addressing both the immediate legal needs and long-term empowerment of LGBTQIA+ youth, the Free to Be Youth Project fosters a supportive, affirming environment where young people can heal, thrive, and build a future of possibility and pride.

Accessibility

Five external steps lead to our entrance doors: a wheelchair lift is available. All galleries are wheelchair-accessible, and a single-occupancy accessible restroom is located behind the visitor services desk; all restrooms are gender-neutral. Large print didactics are available. For questions or access requests, please email info@leslielohman.org with 1 week in advance of your visit.
