With members from all over Central Massachusetts, Greater Worcester Humanists is an active chapter of the American Humanist Association. We provide a welcoming environment and a range of activities for area humanists and those interested in learning more about humanism. We have regular meetings, guest speakers, movie screenings, discussions of timely topics, and social activities, etc. We also celebrate humanist holidays such as Darwin Day, Freethought Day, Human Light, and the National Day of Reason. Most of our meetings are free and open to the public.
Our mission is to be a hub of activity for humanism in Greater Worcester, raising public awareness and acceptance of humanism and thereby strengthening the progressive, reason-based worldview in our area and providing resistance to the ultraconservative views of the religious right.
We meet once a month, usually at the UU Church in Worcester, MA.

We will have a celebration of sorts, as we mark the 150th anniversary of the birth of John Dewey, arguably one of the most important public intellectuals in American history, and an important figure in the humanist movement as well. Our evening will be entitled "Two Views of John Dewey on his 150th Birthday." This will be an opportunity to not only think about humanism's past, but also consider its future. Read more
