The Humanist Institute - A Leadership Training Program
The Humanist Institute exists to equip humanists to become effective leaders in a variety of organizational
settings, including within the humanist movement itself.
|
The Humanist Institute is dedicated to fostering leadership that is:
- Ethically grounded,
- Wise and well-informed,
- Fluent in institutional dynamics, and
- Committed to meeting the real needs of people.
The Humanist Institute strives to prepare humanist leaders to be:
- Advocates, who are persuasive articulators of humanist world view in the public sphere,
- Innovative thinkers, who keep our movement alive with their provocative insights and writings,
- Experts, who have the skills to help organizations function and help people achieve their goals.
The Humanist Institute is an independent graduate-level program that works in cooperation with existing
humanist organizations. The program can be completed in a three-year period involving intensive reading and reflection.
Students come to New York City or Washington DC for long weekend seminars in April and December and a five-day seminar
in August. The program provides a unique opportunity to bring together a diverse faculty and student body of those who
take a non-theistic, naturalistic approach to humanism, whether interpreted in secular or religious terms.
