Our Mission Statement
The mission of the Hellenic Preservation Society is to present a unified voice of the Hellenes in Northeastern Ohio that will promote the Greek experience through programs, presentations and cultural collections.
Our Operation
The Hellenic Preservation Society (HPS) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation that provides resources and guidance to the Greek community. Our goal is to preserve and perpetuate any and all aspects of Hellenic culture and identity across generations. We do this by honoring the culture and achievements of our ancient ancestors, whose government, architecture, art, literature, science, sport and fertility of thought became timeless threads across the generations and have influenced our modern world.
