The Humanist Society applies Humanism to daily life through a unique celebrant program, education, and community involvement.

 

Those who are attracted to a positive, progressive philosophy unencumbered by the rigidity of traditional religions embrace the vibrant lifestance of Humanism. The Humanist Society (HS) gives life to Humanism's rational philosophy by focusing on community and daily living.

Recognizing the important role life occasions play in individual and community life, the Humanist Society's unique ministry prepares Humanist Celebrants to lead ceremonial observances across the nation and worldwide. Celebrants provide millions of Americans an alternative to traditional religious weddings, memorial services, and other life cycle events. Celebration of life is central to a meaningful Humanist philosophy, and Humanist Celebrants officiate significant celebrations vital to Humanist life.

HS is also starting to work at the grassroots level by developing the Humanist Community Project, by providing the tools to develop truly Humanist communities. These communities will empower local Humanist groups with the ability to reach out to a greater population of people by providing educational programs, regular communal celebrations, and meaningful social interaction with fellow Humanists.
