Mission
At Support Miami Foundation, our mission is to provide unwavering support, education, and empowerment to the LGBTQ youth within the Latin Immigrant community in South Florida. We are committed to offering a range of services and transformative programs that affirm and celebrate their diverse sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions.
We firmly believe in the innate strength, resilience, and leadership potential of our LGBTQ youth, recognizing them as the future leaders of our broader community. Moreover, we hold a deep appreciation for the courage and determination displayed by Latin Immigrants in the LGBTQ Community who have sought refuge in the U.S., not only in pursuit of new beginnings, but also in their quest for safety and the fundamental right to live freely and authentically.
Through collaborative initiatives, tailored resources, and an environment of acceptance, we aspire to foster a stronger, more inclusive society where every individual is empowered to embrace their identity and contribute positively to the tapestry of our shared future.
