The Order for the Emergence of Voluntary Society is a philanthropic organization dedicated to progressing the evolution of the human condition and the emancipation of mankind from the yolk of government through education, debate, the promotion of the Non Aggression Principle and voluntary action at the local level. The Order was founded by Pericles Andreas Niarchos with the help of Tyler Frazier, Stacy Litz, Deanna Quinnones and others in early 2010.

Sanctum and Architecture
Unlike many existing organizations intended to carry forward the struggle for liberty, the Order for the Emergence of Voluntary Society will function around a physical location. The Sanctuary will offer shelter for voluntaryists and strict followers of the Non-Aggression Principle who are constantly inundated with authoritarianism in their daily lives. To be modeled after Renaissance, Greek and Roman architecture, the Sanctuary will provide a place for scholars and philosophers with a treasured library at its core. The Sanctuary will be a platform for Order hosted debates and intellectual discussions and competitions as well as charity and community service and serve many other venues and functions.

Website
Taking into account that modern technology offers individuals a fast and easy way to exchange ideas and information, O.E.V.S. will incorporate the most up to date methods of website development. The Order's website, www.OEVS.Org will not only be a source for information on Order events and future plans but also be host to a multi-author blog, community and national forum, podcasts and educational webinars.

Charity and Community Service
Unlike government institutions, the members of the Order for the Emergence of Voluntary Society understand the attige "When coercion enters, charity leaves". In light of this, the Order will promote voluntary charity and community service in the Philadelphia area to assist local poor, homeless and developing neighborhoods in reaching their fullest potential. The Sanctuary will be host to food and clothing drives, a weekly soup kitchen, community improvement projects as well as after school programs. It is also a goal to create a fund for individual recovery sponsorship so that people who want to drastically improve their lives can find the means to become self-reliant rather then dependent. Guiding this transformation will be O.E.V.S. members acting as big brothers and sisters to children and adults in need of support.

Venues and Functions
The Order intends to provide the Philadelphia community with voluntary alternatives to otherwise state influenced exchanges. With this goal in mind the Sanctuary will be host to many venues including but not limited to: a weekly farmer's market (The Agora), fitness center, restaurant and cocktail lounge, traditional Chinese Kwoon for its martial arts program, a firing range (which will also help in assisting Order members teaching proper fire arms safety and responsibility), art shows, wine tastings, live concerts classical and modern and most importantly; intellectual debate.

Academy
In a bold attempt to counter state indoctrination through public schooling and lacking higher education standards, the Order plans to serve as a host to an accredited academy modeled after the Greek human studies design. The acadamy, small by design, will emphasize a low student to teacher ratio allowing greater time for individual students to interact with their professors. Furthermore, students will be able to receive undergraduate and graduate level degrees in fields ranging from Philosophy and History to Mathematics and Economics. With a target student body of less then 1,000 students, the diploma factories of the 21st century will be bested by a Socratic approach to education motivated by curiosity and self-determination. Unlike modern universities where students are detached from the world outside the classroom, students at this academy will have daily interactions and discourse with members of the Order pursuing their own enlightenment on the grounds.
