How does volunteering at HSS work?

Our society’s functions are organised into Working Groups (WGs), each focusing on a specific aspect of our society’s work. Find out more about the WGs and their responsibilities here!

Each WG provides plenty of engagements for volunteering, split into smaller tasks that are flexible and scalable. As a HSS volunteer, you can adjust your involvement with us as your schedule allows.

Resources for volunteers

HumanistSG volunteers strive to:

  • Build a community of support for the non-religious
  • Give the non-religious a place in the Singapore story
  • Amplify voices of reason

Familiarise yourself with our society’s mission and background here! Please keep the regulations and guidelines of HSS in mind during your volunteer journey. Read more about them below:

What else can I do?

At times when there are no suitable opportunities for you to contribute as a volunteer, there’s still plenty that you can do as a Humanist in Singapore.

  • Read up from our list of key articles to understand more about Humanism and the Humanist Society’s place in Singapore.
  • Spread awareness about Humanism:
    • Identify as non-religious within your social circles, and in censuses or surveys, to increase the visibility of our community
    • Refute negative stereotypes and myths about non-religious individuals when you come across them (view our responses to some questions here)
    • Stay on top of current affairs and make your views known (respectfully, e.g. via forum letters) when you observe threats to secular spaces
    • Connect with individuals and organisations of different religions, with the genuine curiosity to learn more about their beliefs
  • If you’ve got ideas for events that do not exist yet, help us organise them! Refer to the last section of our General Rules for guidelines regarding event organising.
