Service in District 28
You didn’t come this far to stop to turn back now!
Service in Our District
“Practical experience shows that nothing will so much insure immunity from drinking as intensive work with other alcoholics. It works when other activities fail.” — Alcoholics Anonymous, page 89
Responsibility Statement
I am responsible... When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, I want the hand of A.A. always to be there. And for that: I am responsible.
AA members share their experience with anyone seeking help with a drinking problem; they give person-to-person service or "sponsorship" to the alcoholic coming to AA from any source. The AA program, set forth in the Twelve Steps, offers the alcoholic a way to develop a satisfying life without alcohol.

Men and women have volunteered to bring A.A. meetings into the correctional and treatment facilities within the geographic boundaries of District 28 for far longer than District 28 has existed as a service entity. The legacies of service that these A.A. men and women have created and sustained (often passing on to sponsees, fellow home group members, and willing sober friends) ought to be supported by and enhanced by A.A. organizational entities, and not infringed upon or inhibited by them.
With that in mind, the Corrections and Treatment Services volunteers within District 28 deserve our deepest gratitude for modeling their tremendous response-ability. They regularly go out of their way to carry A.A.’s message of hope into facilities where people can’t get out to go to meetings.

Men and Women
If you’re a truly motivated A.A. member who is willing to make a sincere commitment to DO something, we have current volunteer opportunities for:
• LEADS in a men’s state prison.
• COMMITTED volunteers to regularly attend meetings inside county jails.
• OUTREACH volunteers in juvenile detention & probation, adult probation, drug & DUI courts, treatment centers, schools, and targeted communities like veterans; these efforts require researching and developing contacts with staff at facilities or organizations.
• PICKING UP A.A. literature from Central Office and then delivering it on behalf of a specific meeting at a specific facility.
• GRAPEVINES! Old or new! Our facilities are hungry for them!
Treatment Facilities
You didn’t come this far to to back out now!
Being there for other or just getting out of myself!
Many happy sober A.A. members have found that the best cure for a “dry drunk” or a self-pity binge is working with another still-suffering alcoholic. Seeing other alcoholics recover, whenever they do, is almost as great a reward as our own sobriety. What better place to look for those still-suffering alcoholics than in a hospital or some other alcoholism treatment place? The idea is older than A.A. itself - Pamphlet "AA In Treatment facilities".
