12th Step Call Volunteer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What exactly IS the 12th STEP LIST?<\/strong> The 12-Step List is a collection of\u00a0contact information for AAs\u00a0who are willing to respond\u00a0to someone who\u00a0contacts Alcoholics Anonymous for help \u2014 by phone, email, or text, day or\u00a0night. These volunteers believe\u00a0in giving back what was freely\u00a0given to them, fulfilling the 12th step of their own\u00a0program while ensuring that the\u00a0hand of AA is<\/em> there for the\u00a0suffering alcoholic who reaches out for help. For more information, see https:\/\/wncaa.org\/index.php\/12th-step-call-volunteer\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Hours Phone Volunteer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

NCMCO offers the opportunity for AA members to answer calls after regular office hours. Individual AA members can sign up for one night a week or a 24 hour weekend shift — whichever best fits their schedules. The after-hours call times are: Monday through Friday from 1:30pm until 9:30am the following morning, Saturday and Sunday from 9:30am through the next morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To participate, members need to fill out a sign-up sheet  and then meet with a member of the subcommittee to go over the procedures and guidelines. If you are interested in volunteering for this service, and you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Have one year of sobriety
2) Are willing to fill out the form linked below
3) Are willing to commit to a regular weekly shift

Central Office Representative<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What is a Central Office Representative and what are their duties?  <\/strong>Central Office Reps or COR\u2019s are similar to GSR\u2019s and their relationship with AA Districts. COR\u2019s are responsible for voting their group\u2019s conscience at COR meetings and to inform the NCMCO Board about any concerns of their AA home group. The COR tries to keep their home group informed about what the Central Office is doing. COR\u2019s are responsible for participating in the  quarterly COR meetings, to share their home group\u2019s experience in carrying the AA message and express how NCMCO may better serve the area\u2019s AA Community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your job now is to be at the place where you may be of maximum helpfulness to others, so never hesitate to go anywhere if you can be helpful.\u201d <\/p>\nAlcoholics Anonymous, p. 102 <\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

“Nearly 70 years ago, Warden Clinton Duffy asked A.A. members to bring an A.A. meeting into San Quentin. Today there are over 38,700 A.A.s in confinement and 1,555 prison groups throughout the United States and Canada. These meetings answer only a fraction of the need for more groups in correctional facilities all across the country. Many there reach for, but don\u2019t find, the hand of A.A. Carrying the A.A. message into jails, juvenile detention centers and prisons is an important and rewarding service, and one where there is a constant need for volunteers.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
