Across Europe, Scientologists expand humanitarian actions — from Volunteer Ministers to drug prevention — showing how helping others is key to achieving spiritual freedom.

Brussels, Belgium — November 2025 — From the streets of Prague to community halls in Madrid, volunteers of the Church of Scientology are continuing a long-standing tradition: serving society through humanitarian actions that aim to restore dignity, compassion, and moral values. Behind these efforts lies a conviction central to Scientology itself — that true spiritual freedom cannot be achieved without contributing to the well-being of one’s fellow human beings.

During recent months, Scientologists and their affiliated groups have led hundreds of civic and educational activities throughout Europe. In the Czech Republic alone, Volunteer Ministers organized more than forty community initiatives in October 2025, ranging from neighborhood clean-ups and disaster-response training to youth workshops on ethics and cooperation. Similar efforts were mirrored in Italy, Hungary, Spain, and France, all conducted under the Church’s broader humanitarian umbrella.

Humanitarian Work as a Spiritual Practice

Unlike many religious or social movements that separate faith from service, Scientology places helping others at the core of personal progress. Its founder, L. Ron Hubbard, wrote that “a being is only as valuable as he can serve others,” a principle that underpins the Church’s social programs. From the global “Volunteer Ministers” network to educational campaigns on drug prevention, literacy, and human rights, each action reflects the idea that assisting others is an indispensable step toward one’s own enlightenment.

Across Europe, this philosophy has taken practical form through initiatives such as “The Way to Happiness” — a secular moral code written by Hubbard in 1981 that has reached millions in more than 100 languages — and “Youth for Human Rights”, which empowers students to understand and promote the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. These programs, while not requiring religious affiliation, exemplify the Scientology view that improving society’s moral and ethical condition is essential for individuals to flourish spiritually.

A European Culture of Civic Responsibility

In cities like Brussels, Rome, and Vienna, Scientology Missions and Churches have become recognized contributors to civic life, often collaborating with local associations to address social ills such as substance abuse, urban neglect, and intolerance. Their work aligns with the European Union’s emphasis on community engagement and human rights education.

“Helping others is not merely a charitable act — it is a cornerstone of a free and cohesive society,” said Ivan Arjona-Pelado, Representative of the Church of Scientology to the European Union, OSCE, Council of Europe and the United Nations. “When individuals learn to take responsibility for their communities, they also move closer to understanding their own spiritual nature. This is the essence of what Scientologists mean by freedom — not only personal liberation, but shared responsibility for the world around us.”

Volunteer Ministers: A Movement of Practical Help

One of the most visible expressions of this ethos is the Volunteer Ministers (VMs) program, created in the 1970s in response to what Hubbard described as the “moral decay” of modern life. Easily recognized by their yellow shirts, VMs operate in over 200 nations, providing aid in times of crisis — from natural disasters to daily personal struggles.

In Europe, Volunteer Ministers have been active in flood response in Slovenia, refugee-aid coordination in Hungary, earthquake recovery in Croatia and Italy, and ongoing neighborhood initiatives across the continent. Their training — open to anyone regardless of belief — focuses on practical tools to resolve conflict, improve communication, and restore self-confidence.

These actions are not driven by proselytism but by the conviction that people, when empowered with understanding and compassion, can overcome despair and regain control of their lives. This is why the program’s motto, “Something can be done about it,” has resonated across languages and cultures.

Education and Prevention as Keys to Social Change

In addition to direct assistance, Scientologists have placed strong emphasis on education as prevention. The “Truth About Drugs” campaign — conducted through the Foundation for a Drug-Free World — has distributed millions of booklets and organized awareness events in cooperation with teachers, police departments, and youth organizations. Similarly, Youth for Human Rights chapters throughout Europe have run workshops in schools, encouraging students to recognize human dignity as a universal right.

Each of these programs is supported by Scientologists but implemented in partnership with secular institutions, demonstrating how spiritual conviction can translate into tangible civic contribution. This cooperative spirit has earned acknowledgment from local authorities, educators, and NGOs for its consistent long-term engagement.

The Path to Spiritual Freedom

For Scientologists, service to others is not separate from their spiritual journey — it is the means by which spiritual awareness expands. The religion teaches that individuals are immortal spiritual beings, capable of achieving higher states of consciousness through both personal study and altruistic conduct. Helping one’s community thus becomes an integral part of advancing toward what Scientology calls “total freedom.”

“Europe has a deep humanist tradition that values solidarity and mutual aid,” added Arjona. “Scientologists contribute to this tradition by applying spiritual principles to everyday life — bringing help, hope, and understanding wherever they can. In doing so, they embody a belief that freedom, in its truest sense, belongs to all humanity.”

About the Church of Scientology

The Church of Scientology is a contemporary religion founded by L. Ron Hubbard in 1952, whose beliefs and practices derive from the study of the mind, spirit, and life itself. Scientology Churches, Missions, and groups are active throughout Europe, recognized as a charitable and bona fide religion in several jurisdictions. Its humanitarian programs — focusing on education, human rights, moral values, and disaster response — are inspired by Hubbard’s vision of a civilization free from war, crime, and suffering, where individuals are able to reach their highest spiritual potential.

Amidst the steady rhythm of everyday life, Leading the Aisles by Deanna L. Venison rises as a story of endurance, courage, and quiet triumph. More than a memoir, it’s a chronicle of resilience, purpose, and leadership born from the grocery aisles of America and the heart of an African American woman who refused to give up on herself or her calling.

From her earliest role as a cashier at Winn-Dixie to becoming her company’s first African American female store manager, Venison’s journey redefines success as an ongoing act of faith, discipline, and integrity. Her story begins in the humble home of her grandparents, David and Lucy Malcom, whose faith, humility, and work ethic shaped her path. They taught her that true greatness doesn’t come from privilege; it comes from perseverance, gratitude, and giving your best even when no one is watching. Those early lessons became the bedrock of her leadership philosophy.

Set against the backdrop of the 1980s and 1990s grocery retail era, Leading the Aisles captures both the triumphs and trials of a woman breaking barriers in a male-dominated industry. Venison faced discrimination, self-doubt, and systemic challenges, yet she turned each obstacle into a stepping stone. Her voice remains calm but unshakable as she revisits moments when she had to work twice as hard to be seen, when silence was survival, and when faith was her only compass. Through every challenge, she carried herself with dignity, proving that leadership rooted in character will always stand the test of time.

Her career reflects a remarkable arc, from cashier to corporate leader, from homemaker to Six Sigma Green Belt and Cornell-certified professional. Yet what defines Venison is not the titles, but the transformation. “Excellence is never an accident,” she writes, and she lives that truth in every chapter. Whether recounting her years at NASA, her hands-on leadership during Florida’s hurricane seasons, or her experience as a mentor for young women in retail, Venison demonstrates that real leadership comes from empathy, conviction, and consistency.

At the heart of this story lies family. The enduring bond with her sister Sharene Wilson, the eternal love of her late grandparents, and the pride she feels for her children and grandchildren anchor this book in warmth and humanity. These personal roots remind readers that the strength to lead begins in love, humility, and gratitude.

As Leading the Aisles unfolds, it becomes far more than a professional memoir; it’s a blueprint for anyone determined to rise above adversity with grace. Venison’s journey proves that barriers can be broken not by bitterness but by belief, not by shortcuts but by showing up fully, day after day.

Now available everywhere books are sold, including Amazon, Leading the Aisles stands as a timeless testament to perseverance, purpose, and faith-driven success. For every reader who has ever felt unseen, Deanna Venison’s story is a light, a reminder that courage, integrity, and heart can lead you anywhere.
