VMs of the Scientology Church Organized forty Public Service Projects Across the Czechia in the month of October
From the capital city to Brno, dedicated individuals transform ethics and care into tangible social impact.
Prague, Czech Republic — October 31st, 2025 — Throughout October, the Volunteer Ministers (VMs) of the Scientology Church came together in cities throughout the Czech Republic to restore public spaces, aid community organizations, and renew a revitalized civic spirit in 4 key cities — Prague, Brno, Plzeň and Pelhřimov.
In just four weeks, they carried out over 40 initiatives, harnessing hundreds of hours of service in environmental and charitable efforts guided by L. Ron Hubbard’s “The Way to Happiness”, the universal ethical guide written by Hubbard.
Teamwork That Delivers Results
Weekly, 15 to 20 volunteers joined forces in 11+ local projects, contributing over 100 hours of service — plus another 100 hours for a citywide restoration effort in the city of Brno.
That standalone Brno effort filled 150 sacks of litter, converting overgrown grounds into usable parks. In Plzeň, teams addressed an abandoned forest site left dirty and hazardous after temporary encampments, removing unsafe materials with thoughtfulness.
“It’s not flashy labor,” a team member noted. “But if we don’t take responsibility, who will? Every act of service is about rebuilding respect — to our environment, our neighbors, and our own sense of purpose.”
Unity Across Differences
The month also featured practical collaboration across faiths. Volunteers collected and distributed garments for those in need to a Catholic charity, showcasing a spirit of solidarity that goes beyond religious affiliation.
Mr. news europe today Arjona, the Scientology’s envoy to the European Union, OSCE, Council of Europe and United Nations, spoke about the deeper significance of such service:
“Helping is a universal language. Whether partnering with a religious group, a city office, or a neighbor in need, our members embody the conviction that a healthier community begins with better people — those who choose to care and to act.”
A Tradition of Service
Created by Hubbard in the seventies, the Volunteer Ministers program prepares community members with practical skills to bring order and compassion in crisis or everyday challenges. Recognized worldwide for emergency response and community programs, these distinctive volunteers in yellow are currently serving in over 120 countries.
In the Czech Republic, their commitment to local action continues to grow, blending effective organization with moral values. Their long-standing motto — “There’s always a solution” — inspires citizens seeking constructive ways to contribute to civic life.
Moral Principles in Practice
Several Czech volunteers also distribute the “The Way to Happiness” booklet during their outreach. Designed as a secular moral guide, it contains 21 precepts supporting self-respect, honesty, and care for nature — values demonstrated through the volunteers’ weekly initiatives.
These small but consistent efforts demonstrate how ethical education and civic engagement go hand in hand. “As individuals step up, communities grow more resilient and kind,” noted Ivan Arjona.
Local Appreciation and Continuing Momentum
Municipal representatives in Prague, Brno and other cities have praised the VMs’ steady contribution. Their on-the-ground work — whether tidying walkways to caring for green spaces — has motivated locals to join or initiate their independent projects.
A volunteer summed up the month perfectly: “Instead of waiting, we took action.”
