Humanist Lay Leaders are acknowledged for their passionate leadership in driving humanism and humanist values forward in their communities. The Lay Leader endorsement is intended to be highly flexible and might be used in many different ways. Lay Leaders might organize meetings and discussion groups of local humanists, might represent humanism on interfaith coalitions such as a disaster recovery team, or might coordinate community service and other volunteering initiatives. Lay Leaders must be articulate in their understanding of humanism and should seek creative ways to promote the philosophy, values, and mission of humanism in their community. Lay Leaders are representatives of humanism acting within the bounds of the Humanist Society’s statement of ethics and code of conduct.
