AA Service Opportunities

Our Twelfth Step—carrying the message—is the basic service that the AA
Fellowship gives; this is our principal aim and the main reason for our existence.
Therefore, AA is more than a set of principles; it is a society of alcoholics in action.
We must carry the message, else we ourselves can wither and those who haven’t
been given the truth may die. From “A.A.’s Legacy of Service by Bill. W.,”
The A.A. Service Manual by Bill W. 2018-2020 edition, p. S1.

Numerous opportunities to stay in the middle of A.A. and give back what has so
freely been given are available. Get involved today!
