Small Groups
HTC Small Groups provide you with the chance to get past the small talk and into the good stuff. With options all over the area and meetings at various times during the week, there’s sure to be a group for you! We also add additional groups from time to time, so be sure to check back here to learn about new opportunities to connect. The group’s are divided into four categories: Geographic (listed by town), Topical (listed by topic), and women’s and men’s groups. Please scroll all the way down the page to see all the options.
