What we're about
WELCOME!
HSGP is a warm and welcoming community of people with open minds and lots of questions. While we have a lot of diverse opinions and interests, we are accepting and tolerant of differing ideas and positions. While non-belief in the supernatural brought many of us together, our belief in the essential goodness of humanity and dedication to open discussion keeps us together and helps us grow. We have only one life and we strive to make it a good one for ourselves and for others. We are home to people with a wide range of beliefs and positions such as: humanists, atheists, agnostics, freethinkers, and Nones. That covers a lot of ground!
In addition to our Facebook group, we offer a variety of activities to support our Humanist goals and we are always looking for more ways to socialize, learn, and help others. We have a community center near downtown Mesa! Be sure to check us out at our Game nights, Sunday Speaker meetings, or other events.
To learn more, go to our website at www.HSGP.org. There you will find more information about HSGP and our scheduled events. If you are not a member, please consider becoming a paid member. Your support keeps the building open and the activities running. If you’re not ready to commit to a membership, please join us at one of our free and open to the public events where we hope you will find like-minded individuals. Thank you and we look forward to meeting you!
About Humanism (from the American Humanist Association)
Humanism is a progressive philosophy of life that, without theism and other supernatural beliefs, affirms our ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater good of humanity.

The patio is nice and cool - that's where you'll find us. Look for the Meetup sign. We will be joined by members of the Atheist Meetup Group.

Project Humanities distributes clothing and other items to[masked] unsheltered adults during their Service Saturdays events and they need our help!
Join a group of happy humanists and lend a hand with set-up and organization of tables, interact with the clients, and offer support to ensure the service day runs smoothly.
Learn more about Project Humanities, their amazing programming, and get all the details about the day of service including maps and parking suggestions. The posted address is for parking with the event taking place at the Human Services Campus.
Please arrive a little early so we can connect to chat and help with set up before everything gets started. Look for Jennifer, your Humanist Leader for the event. (She is on the left in the event photo.)
THANK YOU for supporting our human community!
