Q4 2025 Roundup: Scientology-Linked Volunteers Support European Social Initiatives
A quarterly roundup tracks Scientology-affiliated volunteers across Europe executing more than 40 community initiatives from October to December 2025, highlighting environmental cleanups, drug-prevention outreach, and human-rights education in countries such as the Czech Republic, Italy, France, Denmark, and Switzerland, with activities framed as secular, educational efforts to bolster civic participation and social cohesion. The report notes coordinated efforts by Volunteer Ministers and partner organizations, including public-space restoration, classroom and community workshops, and high-visibility campaigns tied to The Way to Happiness and UDHR education, designed to engage diverse communities and promote dignity, responsibility, and cross-sector collaboration.
European Community Initiatives Linked to Scientology Mark Final Quarter of 2025 with Cleanups, Drug-Prevention Outreach and Human-Rights Education
Roundup highlights local volunteer activity in Italy, France, Czech Republic, Denmark and Switzerland during October–December 2025.
BRUSSELS, Belgium — 17 December 2025 — During the last quarter of 2025, volunteer groups connected with the Church of Scientology and its long-running social betterment initiatives reported a range of community projects across Europe, spanning environmental cleanups, fact-based drug-prevention outreach, and human-rights education activities aimed at civic participation and social cohesion.
Community cleanups and practical civic service
In the Czech Republic, Volunteer Ministers associated with the Church of Scientology reported more than 40 community activities during October across Prague, Brno, Plzeň and Pelhřimov, combining public-space restoration with assistance to local charities. The reported effort included weekly volunteer teams and a larger-scale cleanup in Brno that, according to organisers, removed significant waste and restored neglected green areas; volunteers also described collecting and delivering clothing donations to a Catholic charity as part of practical cooperation on local needs.

In Turin, Italy, organisers described weekly Sunday cleanups around the former Dora railway station as a sustained neighbourhood initiative that expanded across several northern districts (including Borgo Vittoria and Barriera di Milano). The activity was coordinated by the civic association Procivicos and framed as combining environmental action with community values, referencing The Way to Happiness, a secular moral code written by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

Switzerland also featured in the quarter’s activity reports, including community-oriented initiatives linked to The Way to Happiness campaign and related local events where volunteers reported promoting civic responsibility and respectful conduct as part of everyday community improvement.
Drug-prevention education and local outreach
In France, Drug-Free World volunteers reported intensified outreach during October, describing engagement with parents, educators, shopkeepers, and health professionals across multiple regions. Reported activities included distributing more than a thousand educational booklets through local businesses in Brittany, wider outreach in western France (including engagement with pharmacists and municipal workers), and additional activity in Loire and Rhône-Alpes. Organisers also described major distribution efforts in Reims, along with outreach in Paris, Bordeaux, Agen, Toulouse, Nice, Belfort and Marseille, often using shopfront displays and street-level conversations to make prevention materials accessible to the public.

In Denmark, a youth-led outreach initiative reported engaging more than 500 shopkeepers in Copenhagen to display and distribute drug-education booklets, with volunteer teams described as ranging in age from 10 to 20. The same reporting linked these efforts to broader trends identified in a 2025 publication from the Danish Centre for Drug Research, which noted a decline in the share of 15–25-year-olds who have tried cannabis (from 44.0% in 2014 to 31.6% in 2025), alongside other reductions in reported substance use over time.
In Lugano, Switzerland, organisers also reported public-facing drug-prevention visibility linked to a major local running event during October, using the occasion to engage families and participants with educational messaging focused on prevention and informed choices.
Human-rights education and dialogue
In Milan, a human-rights gathering hosted at the Church of Scientology of Milan and organised by the association Diritti Umani e Tolleranza brought together community representatives—described as including members of Latin American and African communities in northern Italy—for training and dialogue around the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Organisers stated that participants completed a structured course based on the United for Human Rights education programme, intended for use in schools, youth settings and neighbourhood initiatives.

At the international level, Geneva’s Palais des Nations hosted the conference “Human Rights and Peace – Better Together,” promoted by Organizzazione per i Diritti Umani e la Tolleranza (an NGO reported as holding UN ECOSOC consultative status since 2017) and held around Human Rights Day. The programme highlighted the role of education and cross-sector cooperation in strengthening social inclusion and preventing discrimination, with sessions addressing freedom of thought, conscience and belief, and the practical application of human-rights instruments in public life.
Across Europe more broadly, Scientology-linked human-rights initiatives described ongoing dissemination of UDHR educational materials through partner programmes such as Youth for Human Rights, positioning human-rights literacy as a preventive tool against discrimination and social fragmentation.
Ivan Arjona-Pelado, the Church of Scientology’s representative to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and the United Nations, offered the following proposed comment for use with this quarterly overview:
“Europe’s values are strengthened when citizens choose practical responsibility—keeping public spaces clean, sharing factual prevention tools, and teaching the next generation that rights and dignity apply to everyone. Social cohesion grows through consistent, local action.”
Context: the social programmes behind the activities
The initiatives referenced in this quarterly roundup draw on long-running campaigns supported by Scientologists and partner associations, including: drug-prevention education (using “Truth About Drugs” materials), human-rights education based on the UDHR through United for Human Rights and Youth for Human Rights, Scientology Volunteer Ministers in natural disasters and community civics and ethics initiatives linked to The Way to Happiness. These programmes are presented by organisers as secular, educational tools used in public settings—schools, community groups and neighbourhood initiatives—alongside local volunteering and dialogue efforts.
The Church of Scientology, its missions, groups and members are present throughout the European continent, and its recognition as a charitable and bona fide religion continues to grow. Across Europe, Scientologists and associated civic partners take part in education, prevention and community-betterment efforts, including drug-prevention information, human-rights education, values and volunteer-led local service activities.

Andrew Lavenburg on Sustainable Career Growth and Skill Development
New York, US, 18 Dec 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Andrew Lavenburg is a professional development coach known for a steady, skill-based approach to career growth. His work focuses on helping individuals build confidence, clarity, and long-term momentum through intentional learning and consistent habits. Rather than promoting short-term motivation, Andrew Lavenburg emphasizes practical development grounded in self-awareness, communication, and accountability.
In a professional environment shaped by constant change, many people feel pressure to move faster without clear direction. Andrew Lavenburg addresses this challenge by helping professionals slow down their decision-making process without losing progress. His coaching centers on strengthening core skills first, then applying those skills across roles, industries, and career stages.
Andrew Lavenburg believes sustainable career growth begins with understanding how skills compound over time. Communication, reflection, and leadership habits play a larger role in long-term success than surface-level credentials. Through structured coaching, he helps individuals identify skill gaps, refine strengths, and build routines that support steady improvement.
“Sustainable growth comes from consistency,” Andrew Lavenburg explains. “When people focus on transferable skills and daily habits, they build confidence through action, not motivation.”
His work attracts professionals who seek clarity rather than urgency. Many clients arrive feeling stuck, overextended, or unsure how to move forward without starting over. Andrew Lavenburg helps them regain direction by reframing growth as a process built on small, repeatable steps.
A core element of Andrew Lavenburg’s approach involves communication skills. Clear communication supports leadership readiness, collaboration, and confidence in decision-making. By improving how individuals express ideas, set boundaries, and reflect on feedback, he helps clients strengthen their professional presence across settings.
Andrew Lavenburg also places strong emphasis on reflection and accountability. He encourages individuals to examine how their habits influence outcomes over time. This perspective allows professionals to adjust course without drastic pivots or burnout. Progress becomes measurable, intentional, and aligned with personal goals.
Rather than defining success through titles or timelines, Andrew Lavenburg supports individuals in defining success on their own terms. Career growth looks different at each stage. Early-career professionals may focus on skill acquisition, while experienced professionals often prioritize clarity, leadership alignment, or sustainable workload management.
Andrew Lavenburg’s coaching philosophy reflects this flexibility. He works with individuals navigating growth, transition, or recalibration. His focus stays on practical development, not performance narratives or external validation.
As more professionals seek stability alongside growth, Andrew Lavenburg’s work continues to resonate. His emphasis on long-term thinking, skill development, and intentional progress positions him as a trusted voice in professional development coaching.
Through consistent guidance and structured reflection, Andrew Lavenburg helps individuals move forward with confidence, clarity, and purpose. His approach reinforces one central idea. Career growth remains strongest when built deliberately, one skill at a time.

Press Release
Alfredo “Fred” Abascal Expands Real Estate Footprint with High-End Projects Across New Jersey
New Jersey, US, 18 Dec 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, With more than two decades of experience spanning construction, interior design, and real estate development, Alfredo “Fred” Abascal has built a reputation for turning complex projects into high-performing assets. From hands-on craftsmanship to scaling multimillion-dollar ventures, his approach blends discipline with vision—and his latest developments in Hudson and Monmouth Counties continue that trajectory.
Fred’s roots in construction run deep. He entered the field in his teens, learning each phase of residential building firsthand: masonry, roofing, siding, framing. Through the 1980s and 1990s, he flipped houses with a builder’s precision, gradually evolving his expertise into larger-scale projects and full-service design solutions. His career bridges blueprints and business plans, site work and strategy.
He later founded National Window Coverings, which quickly emerged as an industry leader. Under his leadership, revenue grew from $750,000 to $9 million in under three years. That growth wasn’t accidental. Fred invested aggressively in marketing—up to $150,000 per month—while expanding operations from a 2,000 square foot warehouse to a 10,000 square foot facility. The company earned a “Best Buy” designation from Consumers Digest in 1994, a milestone that signaled both product excellence and operational maturity.
“It’s about more than construction,” Fred says. “It’s about the systems behind the walls—the decisions, the structure, the long view. That’s what turns a project into something that holds its value.”
Today, Fred is focused on new development in two of New Jersey’s most competitive counties.
In Hudson County, he is advancing a high-end townhouse project designed to meet market demand for upscale urban living. The homes, once completed, are expected to list around $1.8 million each. For buyers or investors looking to enter earlier, the land and approved plans are available for $1.5 million. It’s a flexible structure, one that reflects Fred’s understanding of what different stakeholders need at different stages of the process.
Meanwhile, in Monmouth County, he is attached to a much larger approved development: 174 condominiums paired with 40,000 square feet of mixed-use retail and medical space. The project is valued at approximately $30 million, with plans in place and pre-construction coordination underway. Fred is expected to serve as project manager, overseeing timeline, budget, and team execution. The location remains confidential, but permits and entitlements have been secured.
These aren’t speculative ideas. Both projects are approved, backed by plans, and positioned for real movement in the coming months.
Fred’s strength lies in his range. He has built homes, run companies, and managed large crews, but he still speaks in practical terms—square footage, framing methods, material logistics. That background gives him an edge when leading development work. While many developers delegate execution, Fred stays close to the ground. His technical fluency lets him spot problems early and guide decisions with precision.
Colleagues describe him as “methodical but adaptable,” a mix that shows up in his projects’ consistent performance.
Over the years, Fred has been responsible for more than 288 residential units across New Jersey and Pennsylvania. His designs balance form and function, and his business instincts have repeatedly proven reliable in shifting markets.
Though based in the Northeast, Fred’s ideas are shaped by a global perspective. He travels often, drawing inspiration from the built environments of cities and towns around the world. That influence appears in subtle design choices—material contrasts, lighting plans, layout flow—that elevate his developments beyond standard models.
“When I travel, I don’t take pictures of monuments,” he says. “I study the doors, the streets, the balconies. I look at how people move through spaces. That’s what good design does—it serves people without shouting.”
Fred continues to seek out projects where his skills offer real value: early-stage strategy, entitlement navigation, construction planning, and brand development. His projects are rarely rushed, but once they begin, they move with purpose. Each phase is considered. Each decision reflects experience.
Whether building from the ground up or scaling an existing vision, Fred brings the same approach he’s used for decades—clear planning, accountable leadership, and a long-term mindset.
