Volunteers provide assistance at the Area Service Office.  They are supervised by the  Service Office Manager.  Training for volunteer positions is provided by the Manager and the Volunteer Coordinator. 

Hours and days of service are arranged between the volunteer and the Office Manager.  Volunteer service is performed during regular office hours.  Volunteer shifts are 9:30-12:00 noon, 1:00-3:00 PM, and 3:00-5:00 PM, Mondays through Fridays.

Volunteers may work in any capacity needed, from helping with mailings and filing, to other office work.  Probably the biggest volunteer job is assisting the Office Manager in answering the telephone. 

Many calls come in to the office from the general public, from alcoholics, and from concerned  families and friends of alcoholics, seeking help and information. 

Typical information needed includes: meeting schedules and directions, contact with a sober alcoholic for help with getting sober, questions on resources such as literature, and questions about upcoming events.
