I’m thrilled to announce that my friend Jesse Galef has accepted a new position as the National Community Coordinator for the Humanist Community at Harvard (after years working as the Communications Director for the Secular Student Alliance):
He’ll be working alongside a team headed up by Harvard’s Humanist Chaplain Greg Epstein:
… Galef will work to build support for multi-generational secular communities, with a special emphasis on serving the needs of younger Americans.
…
“We need to see the groundswell of young secular Americans as an opportunity, not a victory,” Galef said. “If churches aren’t serving their real human needs, we need to develop communities that can. Society will be shaped by where these millions of Americans go next.”
…
“I want every secular American to have a welcoming community that promotes reason and compassion,” Epstein said. “I’m thrilled to bring Jesse on board to help us realize that vision.”
I can’t wait to see what Jesse accomplishes in his new role. It’s a role that suits him well.
For anyone curious, this position appears to be similar to the one pastor-turned-atheist Teresa MacBain was supposed to fill until shit went down.
