Dear Future Leaders,

If you attend a high school, university, college, technical college or community college, you can start and successfully maintain a secular student group on your campus. The SSA stands ready to assist you in making your group effective, well run, exciting, and fun.

You and your peers will be the next generation’s leaders.  You have the opportunity to create a future where scientific rationality, secularism, and human based ethics flourish.

Strong, well-rounded groups need to excel at education, activism, and building a strong community. We have tried our best to address education, community and activism. By blending these three aspect together your group will truly flourish.  

This group running guide is available as a tool to augment your creativity, ingenuity and desire to make your secular student group both a short and long-term success.  It was written almost wholly by people who have run campus groups themselves.  If you run a group and have ideas on how to improve this book, please let us know!

In love and reason,

August E. Brunsman IV

Executive Director
