Scientology Volunteer Ministers of the Scientology Church Carried Out 40 Civic Actions Across the Czech Republic in the month of October
From Prague to Brno, volunteers turn moral principles and care into tangible social impact.
Prague, Czech Republic — October 31st, 2025 — Throughout October, the Volunteer Ministers (VMs) of the Church of Scientology mobilized across the Czechia to revitalize parks and streets, support local charities, and foster a stronger sense of community in 4 key cities — Prague; Brno; Plzeň; and Pelhřimov.
In just one month, they carried out more than forty events, mobilizing countless volunteer hours in eco-friendly and charitable action guided by The Way to Happiness, the common-sense moral code authored by L. Ron Hubbard.
Teamwork That Delivers Results
Weekly, 15 to 20 helpers joined forces in at least eleven civic actions, dedicating 117 hours of service — in addition to an extra 100 hours for a citywide cleanup in Brno.
That single initiative filled 150 bags of waste, transforming overgrown spaces into usable green space. In Pilsen, volunteers tackled an abandoned forest site left in unsanitary conditions after makeshift camps, disposing of dangerous waste with care and respect.
“It’s not flashy labor,” a team member commented. “But if we don’t take responsibility, who will? Every cleanup is about rebuilding respect — to our surroundings, our neighbors, and our own sense of purpose.”
Cooperation Beyond Boundaries
The period also featured meaningful interfaith cooperation. The team collected and delivered clothing donations to a Catholic charity, showcasing a commitment to unity that rises above belief systems.
Mr. Arjona, the Church of Scientology’s representative to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe, and UN, highlighted the deeper significance of such service:
“Support knows no borders. Whether working alongside a religious group, a city office, or a person facing hardship, our volunteers act on the conviction that a healthier community begins with individuals who care — those who take initiative and show compassion.”
A Legacy of Helping
Launched by L. Ron Hubbard in the seventies, the VM initiative trains people with practical skills to bring order and compassion in times of need. Known globally for emergency response and social projects, these distinctive volunteers in yellow are currently serving in over 120 countries.
In the Czechia, their focus on community service expands each year, combining efficient planning with moral values. Their long-standing motto — “Something can be done about it” — speaks to community members wanting positive methods to serve their communities.
Living Values Every Day
Numerous local VMs also hand out the The Way to Happiness during their outreach. Written as a secular moral guide, it presents twenty-one guidelines encouraging self-respect, honesty, and care for nature — principles mirrored in the volunteers’ weekly initiatives.
These small but consistent actions illustrate how ethical education and civic engagement strengthen one another. “When people take personal responsibility, communities grow more resilient and kind,” Arjona remarked.
Praise from Locals and Lasting Change
Local authorities in multiple Czech cities have recognized the Volunteer Ministers’ consistent efforts. Their on-the-ground work — from tidying walkways to caring for green spaces — has motivated community members to join or start their own local efforts.
A volunteer captured the month succinctly: “Instead of waiting, we took action.”

What Is the Church of Scientology?
The Scientology Church is a modern faith established by Hubbard in 1952. It teaches that each person is a thetan, inherently capable and able to achieve clarity and liberty through personal growth and learning.
Scientology churches and missions are active across Europe, where recognition as a bona fide religion grows steadily. Through awareness campaigns, outreach, and humanitarian programs — such as initiatives for drug awareness, rights advocacy, reading skills, and ethics — members of the Church work alongside individuals and institutions of all faiths to foster respect and harmony.
