These jobs are service positions needed by various Al-Anon groups, districts and service committees in Suffolk County. The only requirement they all share is active membership in our fellowship. It is suggested that you have more than one year in program. Positions above the group level require members who are not also members of Alcoholics Anonymous. They all pay the same: personal growth resulting from an improved understanding of yourself and our program.

Beyond these general requirements, each job has it's own needs and requirements. These are set out in the Al-Anon Service Manual, the ASIS Guidelines or the Group, Board or Committee needing the volunteer. Those requirements are quoted here.

For details about these opportunities, or to place an add, please e-mail:

For your information, did you know that NYS and one other Area throughout the United States and Canada are the only Areas that do not have an Alateen Coordinator? Ask yourself, “What can I do to help find someone who is passionate, caring and responsible to fill this position?
