Even before you become an HGP member, you can join us for some activities. In addition to our Sunday morning programs, you can join our Humanists of Greater Portland Meetup (HGP-M) for activities at different times and places, including some of those mentioned below. Get to know us this way, and when you become an HGP member, you will also be able to participate in our on-line forums.
