Objective

We want to grow and foster an organization that we would be proud to have our children join.
We want to make a place where:

  • all Ethical Society values and principles can thrive and not be compromised.
  • everyone is welcome, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender, or religious beliefs.
  • youth of different ages and genders get to experience together and learn to work together for a common goal.
  • exploration and learning are at the core of the program.
  • the outdoors is the classroom and respect for the outdoors is demonstrated through skills that embrace a “leave no trace” outdoor behavioral code.
  • youth learn leadership, character, and values as part of their participation.
  • reward is perceived through the helping of others, not for personal gain.
  • youth teach youth.
  • youth hold leadership roles helping to run the program.
  • youth see “fun” as one of the main descriptors of the program.
  • we practice sustainability.

Guiding young people from infancy through their late teens in the thoughtful exploration of the myriad ways people make sense of the world around them, we examine a wide variety of the world's religious traditions, including the one that brings us together - Ethical Humanism.
