We are a secular group for those who seek improvement in this life by:
* applying reason, science, and free inquiry to solving human problems;
* advocating freedom, happiness, and progress for all humanity;
* using the democratic process to seek justice and fairness in all societies;
* supporting moral principles that have been validated by consequences;
* accepting kinship with the natural world;
* holding humans responsible for human destiny;
* seeking natural rather than supernatural explanations.

Instead of attending the main program or the scheduled discussion group (usually on a given topic), parents may take this opportunity to chat with other parents, in a separate room, on a topic of their choosing. Read more
What members are saying
“ Lively discussions that go in many directions. A dynamic quality. An inclusive group. ”
“ It's energizing to know that not only are there many humanists "out there," but also that our numbers are growing and becoming more relevant to the public discourse all the time! ”
