Our Impact

Online Community Building

Since the beginning of our organization we have leveraged the power of social media to connect secular individuals and promote the ideals of humanism. We focus our efforts through Meetup and Facebook. This is a crucial part of our role since there are still many people who feel they need a safe place to network with like-minded people without making those connections public or attending public meetings. You can also join as a paying member through our membership platform that allows us to offer unique benefits for our paying members.

STEM in the Schools

Our STEM in the Schools program raises $1,000 each year to donate new science equipment to one well-deserving school in Linn County. Teachers select equipment which will create an exciting exploratory learning environment that facilitates development of critical thinking skills.

Social Justice Advocacy

Humanists of Linn County regularly participates in major advocacy efforts relative to social and political issues that align with our secular moral foundations. We have gone to the state capitol on several occasions to fight for and against specific bills that impact all Iowans. We also attend local events like the annual CR Pridefest to show our support for the LGTBQ+ community.
