Unitarian Universalist Society of Amherst, MA

a liberal religious light since 1893

The Unitarian Universalist Society of Amherst is a community of caring freethinkers, dedicated to a collective search for truth and meaning.

Our faith teaches us that revelation is not sealed, our experiences and our interactions with others continue to refine our understanding of why we are here and what we need to do with our lives. Because of this ongoing search, we provide many opportunities to continue our learning together.

We understand that our search for meaning is by no means limited to our own lives, we must reach outward as well. As we strive to help create a heaven here on Earth for all beings, our community is involved in many social justice initiatives.

Center for New Americans

The Center welcomes and serves immigrants, refugees, migrants and undocumented people in Western Massachusetts. Since its established in 1992 it has helped thousands of immigrants, refugees and undocumented people in its Springfield, Northampton, Greenfield and Amherst offices. Last year it assisted 400 – 500 people. In Amherst, classes in English are taught for speakers of other languages. In addition there are classes in civics, career preparation, digital literacy and navigating U.S. systems.  The threat of ICE has caused great fear and uncertainty among these clients.
