New York Scientologists bring proactive, one-on-one help to people all over the City. |
Trained in the 19 chapters of the Scientology Handbook, these volunteers provide help, support and information across a broad spectrum of need, from helping kids learn how to study to reducing job stress and providing effective solutions to addiction.
Although created in the mid-1970's by Scientology Founder, L. Ron Hubbard , it was the terrorist attacks of 9/11 that brought the Scientology Volunteer Ministers to the attention of most New Yorkers. More then 800 of these volunteers from New York and around the world responded to the urgent needs of the City, providing help to emergency personnel, families of the victims and tens of thousands of New Yorkers personally affected by the tragedy.

But, although active in times of disaster, the Scientology Volunteer Ministers are not just a disaster relief organization, and New York Scientologists make that very clear by their community outreach program. By setting up their tent in a different location each weekend, New York Scientologists bring proactive, one-on-one help to people all over town.
L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Scientology religion, wrote, "If one does not like the crime, cruelty, injustice and violence of this society, he can do something about it. He can become a Volunteer Minister and help civilize it, bring it conscience and kindness and love and freedom from travail by instilling into it trust, decency, honesty and tolerance." The New York Scientology Volunteer Ministers do just that.
