Volunteer Ministers of the Scientology Church Organized forty Public Service Projects Throughout the Czech Republic in the month of October
From the capital city to the country’s second-largest city, dedicated individuals turn moral principles and care into tangible social impact.
Prague, Czech Republic — October 31, 2025 — Throughout the month, the VMs of the Church of Scientology launched efforts across the Czech Republic to restore parks and streets, assist local charities, and bring a revitalized public engagement in four major cities — Prague; Brno; Plzeň; and Pelhřimov.
In just four weeks, they executed more than forty initiatives, uniting hundreds of hours of service in environmental and humanitarian action guided by The Way to Happiness, the practical ethical guide created by Hubbard.
Impact Through Unity
Each week, 15 to 20 helpers collaborated in more than ten civic actions, contributing 117 hours of volunteer time — in addition to an extra 100 hours for a major cleanup in Brno.
That standalone initiative filled 150 sacks of waste, turning overgrown spaces into functional public land. In Plzeň, teams tackled an derelict woodland area left in unsanitary conditions after temporary encampments, disposing of unsafe materials with thoughtfulness.
“These are not glamorous tasks,” a team member noted. “If not us, then who? Every cleanup is about reclaiming pride — to our environment, our neighbors, and ourselves.”
Unity Across Differences
The month also saw practical ecumenical partnership. The team collected and distributed garments for those in need to a local Catholic aid organization, reflecting a spirit of solidarity that transcends belief systems.
Mr. Arjona, the Scientology’s envoy to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe, and UN, emphasized the universal value of such volunteerism:
“Assistance speaks every language. Whether working alongside a church, a municipal department, or a neighbor in need, our members act on the conviction that a stronger world begins with individuals who care — those who step forward with purpose.”
Decades of Dedication
Launched by L. Ron Hubbard in the seventies, the VM initiative trains people with practical skills to offer help and stability 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 continues to grow, combining effective organization with moral values. Their enduring slogan — “Something can be done about it” — resonates with residents seeking meaningful opportunities to contribute to civic life.
Ethics in Daily Action
Numerous Czech volunteers also share the “The Way to Happiness” booklet during their activities. Intended as a non-religious ethics manual, it contains 21 precepts supporting personal integrity, honesty, and environmental responsibility — values reflected by the team’s regular projects.
These modest yet steady actions demonstrate how ethical education and community involvement strengthen one another. “When people take personal responsibility, the world improves,” Arjona remarked.
Praise from Locals and Lasting Change
City officials in multiple Czech cities have commended the VMs’ steady contribution. Their on-the-ground work — whether tidying walkways to maintaining parks — has inspired community members to join or start their independent projects.
A team member described the month succinctly: “No one else was stepping up — so we did.”
