EVENTS

We are a socially active group and enjoy getting to know like-minded people better.  Some of us are originally northern transplants to Florida looking for a "community" to be part of.  Others are native Floridians looking for a stronger sense of community.  Please attend a meeting or one of our monthly Humanist Happy Hours!

 

Sign up for our 6 Month Free Membership Preview to receive notifications and Zoom meeting login info.  Potential new members are more than welcome to attend meetings to see what our group is about.

CHAPLAIN SERVICES

Our Humanist Chaplains/Celebrants perform many of the same functions as religious ones do for our members such as Weddings, Funerals, Child Welcoming's, Invocations, etc.  They also do volunteer work with local hospitals, hospices, schools, prisons and more.  If you would like to speak with one of our Chaplains/Celebrants they are always available to help.

​

For information please contact Bill Smithson.

COMMUNITY ACTIVISM

While our status as a non-profit means we must remain a-political, we do strongly advocate for humanist issues such as women's reproductive rights, Black Lives Matter, LBGT rights, public education, protecting the environment, protecting our democracy, and more.  We attend protests, volunteer at local charities, attend local school board and government meetings to ensure the rights of the non-religious are protected.
