Socially conscious, consciously social
Young Humanists is the 18–35 section of Humanists UK. We want a world where tolerance, empathy, and reason prevail, and where policy is made on the basis of evidence and equality. We work to make sure more young people are aware of and active in humanism locally, and give them a national voice on the issues that matter to them.
What we do
- We help young people understand what humanism is, and that they may already be living by humanist values.
- We run local and national events where Young Humanists can meet, socialise, and learn.
- We support Humanists UK’s campaigns, such as on humanist marriage, making sure young people are active in them and their views are represented.
- We make sure the humanist worldview is fairly represented in society: in the media, at interfaith events, in social media campaigns, on school boards, and much more.
