About us
Humanism is a non-theistic world view. Humanists are interested in human rights, the separation of church and state, and making the world a better place for everyone. We look to science, reason, and empathy to guide us in looking for solutions to problems in our lives and in the world.
Some of the goals of our group:
- to create a supportive community for humanists in CNY
- to put our values into action by helping the local community through volunteering and community service
- to educate people about humanism and other non-theistic worldviews

Solvay Public Library, 615 Woods Road, Solvay, NY, USPlease RSVP here: https://mobilize.us/s/67kxwy
Join us on May 2nd to make hygiene kits for folks in our community who could use a hand! We received a grant from the American Humanist Association to purchase supplies to make the kits as part of their American Empathy Project, and we’ll get together to put together toiletry and period kits.
We’ll have all the supplies needed, but if you’d like to donate to allow us to purchase even more supplies, you can do that here.
We look forward to rolling up our sleeves and working with you to help those who can’t afford to buy basic necessities.Led by the American Humanist Association, the American Empathy Project has funded 101 service projects nationwide that will empower community members to combat our country’s crisis of cruelty. One day of action — one unified push to fight for empathy!
