NEW YORK STATE
The Corrections Committee is looking for both male and female volunteers to take meetings into several State Correctional Facilities located 30-60 miles from Rochester. Most incarcerated members are unable to attend AA meetings without volunteers coming in and several facilities have no volunteer support at this time. No prior experience is needed - just willingness, commitment and your own experience, strength & hope. If interested in this important service work, please email or call Central Office (office1@rochester-ny-aa.org/585-232-6720). We will pass your contact information to a Corrections Committee member and they will contact you to go over the application and clearance process. The following forms are required:
