The Executive Director of the Florida VMs said, “If one were to carefully and sensitively ask those about them whether they knew of a friend, family member or associate who had encountered some personal disaster in their lives at one time or another, you would be very hard pressed to find someone who hadn’t. And then there are those who are just hard pressed to handle the stresses of the Holiday Season.”

Can something be done about this?  On 101 N. Fort Harrison Ave, a bright yellow building, the Scientology Volunteer Ministers Centre, a philosophy permeates the area that Something can be done about it and the answer is most definitely, ‘Yes’.

The bright yellow building houses a hub of activity. It provides facilities and access to a  team of Volunteer Ministers wherein anyone is invited to walk through its doors ask questions or study courses free of charge or online at www.volunteerministers.org, attend seminars or workshops. All these provide its participants with tools to help one handle any personal disaster one might encounter in life. They address subjects from handling drug problems, to improving one’s ability to study, increasing communication skills or improving one’s efficiency in the work place. There are nineteen courses and there is little that is not covered.

This year, over 9,000 people have walked through the doors of the VM offices in downtown Clearwater. Some curious as to what this bright building holds and others seeking help for life’s problems.  The VMs also provide their skills and training throughout the Tampa Bay area, Florida and beyond.  VMs go to the site of major disasters and they have helped OneBlood in their blood drives and The Red Cross through their Home Fire Campaign. In 2016, Scientology Volunteer Ministers, in partnership with the Red Cross have installed over 1,400 smoke detectors in Florida Homes in an effort to reduce the number of lives lost to home fires.
