Generation.OUT
This project has received funding from The HOPE Fund and is currently being developed. Generation.OUT Online is an online community for Michigan’s LGBT youth. It will be a comprehensive resource site for LGBT youth in Michigan. The site has information on issues important to LGBT youth – such as LGBT 101, local centers, health, etc. It will also have a searchable database of LGBT friendly resources in Michigan – such as GSAs, youth-serving agencies, hotlines, etc. The types of resources that can be put online are essentially limitless and will be determined primarily based on input from youth. Individuals developing the site say it will likely expand to include LGBT youth friendly events, magazines, books, movies, etc. Visitors have the opportunity to submit content of their own (submitting an event, adding a GSA, etc.) and all content will be approved before it is made available online. The subcommittee overseeing this project is comprised of youth and youth-serving professionals.

Michigan Consortium for Higher Education LGBT Centers
The purpose of the consortium is to provide an organizational structure for communication and collaboration between the LGBT centers at Michigan's higher education institutions. The founding/current institutional members are Central Michigan University, Eastern Michigan University, Grand Valley State University, Michigan State University, Oakland University, University of Michigan - Ann Arbor, University of Michigan - Flint and Western Michigan University.

Camping.OUT
Camping.OUT is a conference for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and allied (LGBTA) youth, ages 13-17. It is designed to provide a safe space for LGBTA youth where they can create a community in which they can be themselves and develop their community leadership skills. Activities are offered by staff – who complete an intensive training prior to the start of camp – as well as LGBT community leaders from around the U.S. These activities range from the usual community leadership development activities to fun outing around the Metro Detroit area with group discussions on political issues, leadership development sessions, media training, teambuilding exercises, etc. Campers individually pick which activities they participate in during the two program sessions that take place each day. They also have free time to develop their own discussions and have dialogue with one another, camp staff and outside presenters. The 2007 camp national supporters are the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, the National Youth Advocacy Coalition, PFLAG, the National Center for Transgender Equality, BiNet USA and the Matthew Shepard Foundation.

Schools.OUT
Schools.OUT is essentially the K-12 equivalent of Campus.OUT. It is a collection of resources for LGBT student leaders in Michigan’s K-12 schools regardless of their affiliation with any group, student organization or office. The first element of this - scheduled to be launched in September 2007 - will be an email listserv which will allow members to share information with each other and discuss any relevant topics. Future resources that may be a part of this collection include a guide for advocating for LGBT inclusive policies and a comprehensive resource binder for student organizers.
