Volunteer Opportunities
Get involved and make a difference in our AA community.
There are a variety of ways to contribute your time and skills. Volunteering with AA strengthens our community and helps others on their journey to sobriety. Whether you’re interested in event planning, outreach, or supporting meetings, there’s a role for everyone.
The District 22 Monthly GSR and Service Position Meeting is the 1st Sunday of the Month at Zion Lutheran Church – Elgin, Illinois.
How to Become a Volunteer
Volunteering with Alcoholics Anonymous is open to all members who wish to support our mission of sobriety and community outreach. No prior experience is required—just a willingness to help and a commitment to AA principles.
To get started, review the available opportunities on this page or attend a local AA meeting to learn more about service roles. Once you identify an area of interest, reach out to the event or committee organizer for next steps. Some positions may require a brief orientation or training session.
Eligibility typically includes being an AA member and having a desire to serve. Certain roles, especially those involving direct outreach or event coordination, may have additional guidelines, which will be explained during the application process.
When you begin volunteering, you can expect support from experienced members and clear guidance on your responsibilities. Volunteering is a valuable way to give back, strengthen your recovery, and connect with the community.
