News from the SSA.

With the help of a $50,000 grant the SSA will be able to help form groups in high schools around the country. 

Atheist teenagers around the country are likely to find something new this school year – an active group of like-minded peers. The Stiefel Freethought Foundation marked its official launch today by announcing a $50,000 grant to help organize and support high school groups for nonreligious teenagers. The program, to be run by the Secular Student Alliance, will offer both resources and hands-on assistance to teenagers promoting positive secular values in their lives and on their campuses.

How cool is that?

The Secular Student Alliance (SSA), a national nonprofit devoted to assisting nonreligious students, already supports a network of over 200 affiliates on college campuses. They currently have twelve high school affiliates, up from six last year. They expect today’s grant to fuel that number’s growth.

There needs to be a group at every high school.  If you think the world would be a better place if there was more rational thought then show your support with money.  Go here to donate.  I suggest that you give at least 1% of your annual income to support causes like this.
