Service Opportunities

Service positions are available at every service level, including the group or local level, and the regional, national or international level.  We invite you to familiarize yourself with the S-Anon/S-Ateen Service Structure and consider becoming actively involved in carrying the S-Anon message to others.

The following service opportunities are currently available at the national level; if you are able to volunteer in any of these capacities, please contact the S-Anon World Service Office at sanon@sanon.org for more information. You may then be referred to a volunteer who can talk with you at greater length about service work in S-Anon, and who will strive to respond within one week.
