The Benefits of Membership in HPS

HPS is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to preserving Hellenic culture in its various aspects and in various ways. This is no ordinary membership – it is a commitment to sustaining a legacy, celebrating ethnic diversity, and enriching the community. Here is why your membership is so valuable:

• Cultural Preservation – Membership helps safeguard and promote Greek traditions, customs, and the Greek language itself that might otherwise be lost. Your support ensures that these rich cultural tapestries (and even literal ones) continue to be woven for future generations.
• Community Building – Organizations like HPS often serve as hubs for community engagement and connection. Membership helps create a network of individuals who share a passion for cultural heritage, fostering a sense of belonging and mutual support. Our relationship with the Cleveland Museum of Art is a case in point.
• Educational Opportunities – 501(c)(3) organizations like ours offer educational programs, workshops, and events that promote understanding and appreciation of the Hellenic culture. Your membership helps fund these initiatives, making cultural education accessible to all. In 2024 our programs reached from second-grade classrooms to adults of all ages.
• Personal Fulfillment – Being a part of HPS enhances the opportunity for you to connect with your roots, learn more about Hellenic heritage, and contribute to something greater than yourself. It is an opportunity for personal growth and a sense of satisfaction knowing you’re making a positive impact.

Your membership is crucial. It is a powerful way to celebrate and perpetuate the beauty and diversity of Hellenic culture, sometimes within the context of other ethnicities, ensuring they continue to thrive in an ever-changing world and the American cultural fabric.
