The Church of Scientology provides simple programs to tackle important issues that impact the quality of life.

Drug abuse and spiking overdose deaths. Failed marriages and broken families. Bullying, corruption and crime. Dead-end careers or jobs that don’t pay the bills or dish out a constant diet of stress. Are these and other issues, conditions and problems simply a fact of life? Or is there a way to take action and change them? Voices for Humanity, an award-winning original series on the Scientology Network, documents how diverse individuals are changing conditions like these and making a difference in their own and others’ lives.

The Church of Scientology and Scientologists support humanitarian initiatives and social betterment programs that address these and other important personal and social issues. Each has an educational component with free courses and materials. They are all available free of charge in 17 languages and can be easily accessed online. 

 

 

The Way to Happiness is a book of common-sense values based entirely on common sense. It has fostered a grassroots movement extending to 190 nations.

United for Human Rights and its program for young people Youth for Human Rights has empowered more than 700 million with knowledge and understanding of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. They raise awareness of the rights everyone has simply because they are human. It has been used to tackle bullying and prejudice and impact entire nations.

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers program has, for the past three decades, responded to disasters great and small. Using technology developed for the program by humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard, Volunteer Ministers empower others to improve their own lives and their communities. Watch the new documentary, Operation: Do Something About It, to see the unparalleled scale of the response of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers to the COVID-19 pandemic across the globe to ensure the safety of every sector of society.

In his famous essay “My Philosophy” Mr. Hubbard wrote: “I like to help others and count it as my greatest pleasure in life to see a person free himself of the shadows which darken his days.” This is the passion that informs these humanitarian and social betterment initiatives, which the Church of Scientology makes available free of charge to anyone wishing to improve the quality of life for themselves, their friends, families, community, or the world.
