Central Office Needs Volunteers

Volunteers are essential to the work of San Francisco and Marin Intergroup. They answer the phones, greet customers who visit the bookstore and help with special projects. If you have one year or more of continuous sobriety, consider committing to a weekly two-hour shift. Volunteers are especially needed on Fridays. Central Office is located at 1821 Sacramento St., San Francisco. Sign up here. Reach out to [email protected] with questions.
