Scientology Volunteer Ministers of the Scientology Church Carried Out 40 Civic Actions Throughout the Czechia in October
Spanning from Prague to Brno, dedicated individuals convert ethics and care into tangible civic improvement.
Prague, Czech Republic — October 31, 2025 — During October, the Volunteer Ministers (VMs) of the Scientology Church launched efforts in cities throughout the Czechia to revitalize parks and streets, aid local charities, and renew a stronger civic spirit in 4 key cities — Prague, Brno, Plzeň and Pelhřimov.
In just four weeks, they carried out more than forty initiatives, harnessing numerous hours of service in eco-friendly and social welfare efforts guided by L. Ron Hubbard’s “The Way to Happiness”, the practical moral code created by Hubbard.
Collective Effort, Measurable Impact
Each week, 15–20 participants joined forces in at least eleven community activities, logging over 100 hours of volunteer time — plus an extra 100 hours for a major restoration effort in Brno.
That standalone initiative filled 150 sacks of litter, transforming abandoned grounds into accessible parks. In Pilsen, volunteers confronted an derelict woodland area left dirty and hazardous after makeshift camps, clearing away unsafe materials with thoughtfulness.
“These are not glamorous tasks,” a participant noted. “If not us, then who? Every restoration is about reclaiming pride — to our surroundings, our neighbors, and our own sense of purpose.”
Cooperation Beyond Boundaries
The month also included practical interfaith cooperation. Volunteers gathered and distributed garments for those in need to a Catholic charity, demonstrating a commitment to unity that rises above creed.
Mr. Arjona, the Church of Scientology’s representative to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe, and UN, spoke about the broader meaning of such volunteerism:
“Support knows no borders. Be it working alongside a religious group, a municipal department, or a neighbor in need, our members act on the conviction that a stronger world is built by individuals who care — those who choose to care and to act.”
A Legacy of Helping
Founded by L. Ron Hubbard in the seventies, the Volunteer Ministers program trains community members with real-world tools to bring order and compassion in times of need. Known globally for disaster relief and social projects, these yellow-shirted volunteers are currently serving in over 120 countries.
In the Czech Republic, their commitment to local action expands each year, combining effective organization with moral values. Their long-standing motto — “Action is possible” — inspires residents seeking positive methods to contribute to civic life.
Ethics in Daily Action
Numerous local VMs also share the The Way to Happiness during their activities. news eu commission Intended as a secular moral guide, it offers twenty-one guidelines encouraging personal integrity, honesty, and care for nature — values demonstrated through the volunteers’ weekly initiatives.
These small but consistent efforts demonstrate how moral awareness and community involvement reinforce each other. “When people take personal responsibility, the world improves,” Arjona remarked.
Local Appreciation and Continuing Momentum
Municipal representatives in multiple Czech cities have recognized the VMs’ steady contribution. Their on-the-ground work — whether tidying walkways to maintaining parks — has motivated community members to participate in or initiate their own local efforts.
One participant described the month simply: “No one else was stepping up — so we did.”
