Possessed of technology, techniques and practical solutions and a desire to help, Scientologists around the world are involved in programs to improve society.
Among the humanitarian and community outreach programs Churches of Scientology sponsor are a global network of literacy and learning centers; worldwide drug education, prevention and rehabilitation; equally far-ranging human rights initiatives; and the Scientology Volunteer Minister program to help when help is needed fast, as in times of natural and man-made disaster.
Where these programs are active it is common to find a significant reduction in crime and drug abuse, increased literacy, and a safer, happier environment.
