Human Beams Magazine was founded in 1998 with one simple goal - to change the world. With the help of many talented and passionate people over the years, we’ve made strides in doing just that. Maybe only changing the world in one household at a time, but it all starts somewhere, no?

Our focus is not so much on the news itself, but how the news we read and hear each day affects those that live it; we prefer analysis and commentary on issues and policies that doesn’t lose sight of the impact, good or ill, on actual people. Many of those who volunteer with Human Beams - staff, contributors, and members - also contribute offline and online in the areas of human rights, children’s issues, geopolitical analysis, what affect we, as individuals and countries, have on others around the world, as well as many other areas. We are interested in building a vast network of interconnected individuals and communities, internationally, all working toward the general goal of a more involved, intelligent and effective world.

We, as always, welcome submissions of articles, interviews, photo journalism pieces and more, but we are also now re-opening up positions for department, section and regional editors. As we are an all volunteer publication people come and go as their lives allow, and we thank each and every one of them for the time they’ve put into making Human Beams a success. We have plans for more growth, both online and offline, in the coming months and if, after looking through the magazine and the listings below, you feel this is something you’d like to be a part of, let us know. We’d be happy to have you.

Each area of the magazine, while part of the whole, is also stand alone.
