What we’re about
We are a Boston Area Chapter of the American Humanist Association and we post our activities here (along with those of other local and national secular groups of interest to our membership). See our Facebook page for even more information about humanist activities and opportunities to stay active and find community. Some our talks are on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe9RydAhjaVSJHMaoDj1Usg
We continue to have virtual Talks into 2022 based on scientific consensus about safety and our best judgement.

Who are we? We are secular people living in the Boston Metropolitan area (extending into southern New Hampshire and down the Cape) who believe in Humanism and a humanistic worldview. We like to get together welcoming other atheists and freethinking people, in formal or informal humanistically-oriented activities, such as our monthly speaker series, small group socials, and luncheon meetings, as well as the occasional film or community event. We also try to promote other relevant secular and humanistic events from other chapters and groups in this geographical area. Ask to be on our email list for free newletter or check this site and FB frequently.
We are a membership organization and a chapter of the American Humanist Association. We were founded in 1972 as Humanist Association of Massachusetts and helped seed many of the other great local secular and humanist groups in the state. Any donation of $35 or more constitutes membership, but we welcome any amount. For an address to send checks, please contact us here on Meetup or Facebook.

We invite you to Meet Fish Stark, the new Executive Director of the American Humanist Association, as he discusses his vision for the AHA, the future of humanism, and how and why our movement will grow.

This event will take place at the Tufts Interfaith Center, within a short walk of the Tufts/Medford Green Line stop with parking nearby.

Fish Stark is an organizer, educator, social entrepreneur, and lifelong humanist, who has spent his career turning big ideas into bold action in service of belonging, flourishing, and social justice for all people.
Prior to joining the AHA as Executive Director, Fish was the Head of Program + Curriculum at Legends, an educational technology startup, where he led research and implementation teams to create products that helped children build self-confidence, positive mental health, and critical thinking skills. Previously, Fish served as the Director of Programs at Peace First, a global nonprofit that provides training and funding to youth social justice activists, where he led a global team of organizers who empowered thousands of youth grantees in 140+ countries to make lasting change in their communities, and worked with organizations such as the Red Cross and Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation to develop youth leadership programs.
