AMIAS

Are you interested in working with teens who have been affected by someone else’s drinking? Think about becoming an AMIAS.

Every Alateen group needs active, adult members of Al-Anon to serve as Alateen Group Sponsors. An Alateen Group Sponsor has a dual role: to provide safety in the meeting and to help the Alateens keep the meeting focused on the Al-Anon/Alateen program of recovery, sharing knowledge of our Twelve Steps and Alateen Traditions. For the safety of the teens and Sponsors, Alateen groups cannot meet without certified Sponsors present.

To serve as an Alateen group sponsor, substitute group sponsor, transportation sponsor or conference sponsor, you must be a certified AMIAS (Al-Anon Member Involved in Alateen Service). There are specific requirements for someone to become an AMIAS and there is a process that must be completed.

Consider attending a workshop to learn what being an AMIAS is all about and how to get certified to work with Alateens.
