Do you have some time on your hands? Our shifts at Central are 4 hours / once per week.  Give us a call if you’d like to help.

Our staff and volunteers monitor the phones, answer and assign 12 Step calls and all other information requests from groups, members and the public.  We liaise closely with all service committees.

Volunteers process over 350 “Bridging the Gap” applications yearly.

The meeting directory, which is produced in the office, includes over 500 meetings per week in Edmonton, the surrounding area and northern Alberta. Our interactive online meeting list is updated regularly and the printed lists are done quarterly. 

We can create your posters and tickets, advertise in our Newsletter or on the website . We also can sell tickets at the office.

We have Alcoholics Anonymous World Service (AAWS) literature for sale. This includes Big Books, pamphlets, service material and a wide range of other reading material. Our variety of informative stories shared through the Grapevine books and CDs are intended to reflect our membership.

Do your members celebrate milestones in sobriety? Chips 1 to 11 months, year coins from 1 to 55 years, and birthday cards are available. Order your specially designed medallion engraved with your group name, member name, sobriety date and number of years being celebrated. Phone in your order and pick it up at Central office the same week.
