In their own words...

"Established in 2011, our mission at Inn Motion Inc. is to provide emotional, behavioral, educational,and physical support to at risk Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning and Intersex teenagers, young adults, and their allies. Through community outreach, educational programs, and individual client advocacy, our goal is to provide the resources and skills needed to combat the unique difficulties faced by this population. We seek to celebrate and support all of those in the LGBTQQI community across lines of other underrepresented identities including age, race, class, sex, religious affiliation, (dis)ability, and other traditionally marginalized statuses.
Company Overview
Inn Motion Inc. began in the Spring of 2011 when three friends, all of whom were Graduates of Rhode Island College Women’s Studies program, and self identified members of the LGBTQ community, were looking for a way to put their skills into practice. Familiar with the unusually high rates of homelessness faced by LGBTQ youth, and living in the climate of a LGBTQ youth suicide epidemic, the need for community visibility and support was clear. Armed with this knowledge and a fledgling plan, a fourth Board Member, also a Gender Studies Graduate and LGBTQ community member was added. Finally, Inn Motion Inc. was just that…. in motion.

We are committed to social justice initiatives and a better world for all members of the LGBTQ community and their allies. We recognize the importance of empowering youth so that they may be effective agents of change. Supportive community, strong visible role models, and safe stable housing are critical to fostering this future.

Incorporated with the State of Massachusetts in June of 2011, and declared a Tax-Exempt 501-c-3 Public Charity Nonprofit Organization in December 2011, Inn Motion Inc. is rapidly growing. We hope to complete our initial fundraising campaign and officially open our community center and temporary housing shelter by June 2012.
