Hello, my name is Soren Olofson, I am a high school sophomore in rural Indiana. This would be my first time going to the Secular Student Alliance National Conference. I hope that by being able to attend I will be able to engage with the secular community and connect with others who are non-religious. I would also like to become more involved in activism and attending the conference would be a great step. Any amount would help and be greatly appreciated!

Secular Student Alliance 2025 Student Leadership Conference
July 17-19, 2025   at the University of Cincinnati

The Secular Student Alliance conference is the largest gathering of secular students in the country. For students and the entire secular community, this unique conference experience blends amazing speakers, grassroots organizing, and leadership enrichment, with a secular perspective. 

The best way to ensure a secular future is to invest in secular youth. Imagine when you were a student having a unique opportunity like this conference to network with other students, develop your leadership skills, and strengthen your secular values. 

We recognize that not every student is in a position where they can be open about their secularism, and we are working to change this. When you donate, you enable our students to live out their secular activism. You amplify their voices, help tell their stories, and reward them for their hard work. Some of our students’ families do not support them because they are nonreligious. Many of our students do not come from families who can afford to travel across the country.  You may be the difference between a student being able to attend the national conference, or not.
