Purpose of the Institute

The Humanist Institute exists to equip humanists to become effective leaders, spokespersons, and advocates in a variety of organizational settings, including within the humanist movement itself.  We explore humanist values and train future leaders.

What is Humanism?

Life in this world is the central and defining focus of humanism. We envision a world in which every individual's worth is respected, and human freedom and behaving responsibly are natural aspirations.
