This web site is a good description of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers program.
Scientology Volunteer Ministers Bringing effective help to the community
Over the past few years there has been a dramatic increase in the work of the VMs all over the world.
I think the real point where the program took off was when hundreds of Scientologists came to New York to help after the 9/11 catastrophe.
People realized that as a Volunteer Minister, their help was extremely valuable. Those who went got first-hand certainty that the motto of the Volunteer Ministers was actually true. You couldn't have a worse scenario that being in the pit at Ground Zero, surrounded by the ever-present reminder of man's inhumanity, and yet caring for the true heroes, whose only motivation was to find any survivors and save lives.
I know that I, personally, had a real change from that, and have become much more active as a Scientologist> since.
