Outreach
The Humanists of Greater Portland reaches beyond our membership to support the community through scholarships, charitable giving, and humanist life ceremonies.
The Humanists of Greater Portland is committed to serving the broader community — not just our own members. Our outreach programs reflect core humanist values: compassion, community, and a commitment to improving human well-being.
Our Outreach Programs
Annual Scholarship Contest — We award an annual scholarship to recognize students in the greater Portland area who demonstrate humanist values through academic achievement and community involvement.
Community Involvement — HGP supports local nonprofits aligned with humanist values, from environmental organizations to services for people experiencing homelessness.
Humanist Celebrants & Counselors — Our ordained humanist celebrants officiate weddings, memorial services, and other ceremonies, and offer philosophical counseling as a secular alternative to clergy.
