Intergroup Service Vacancies and Opportunities for Service
Current Service Position Vacancies within London North Kent Intergroup:
YPLO (Young Persons Liaison Officer)
The YPLO will be someone who came into AA at the age of 30 or younger, and
so will have experience of getting sober at a young age, the better to relate to the
particular problems faced by young people seeking to live sober.
They should have a good working knowledge of the 12 Steps, 12 Traditions and
the AA Service and Structure Handbooks GB.
YPLO's will work closely with other service officers, in particular those in Public
Information.
The main tasks of YPLO's will include:
- Receiving and answering email, telephone and other enquiries from young people
- Sharing experience, strength and hope about getting sober at a young age.
- Assisting Public Information Officers with presentations where the audience is likely to include a significant proportion of young people, e.g. talks to schools, universities, young offenders' institutions etc.
- Helping to develop PI material which will carry a clear message to young people.
- Developing contact lists of those who came into AA at or before the age of 30 who are available and willing to assist with talks, 12-Step calls and other service to help, in particular, young people.
- Encouraging young people to enter into all aspects of service (where the recommended qualifications for sobriety are met). Younger people are needed in all service disciplines, in part to ensure that the perspective of young people is represented.
- Supporting AA activities such as Workshops, Conventions and PI events aimed at young alcoholics both within and outside the YPLO's Intergroup or Region.
- Participating in the work of the General Service Board's Young People's Project Team for as long as that Team is convened.
Region Rep - One of a team of Three
Telephone Service - Team Leaders
The main purpose of telephone services is to put the suffering alcoholic in touch
with an individual contact (12th Step Responder) or AA group. It is the responsibility of the members
of the local group to carry out the necessary Twelfth Step work, to provide a
welcome to the new members and to share their experience, strength and hope
with them and to help them on the road to recovery.
The Hints and Suggestions card for 12th Steppers has been acknowledged for
its simple and comprehensive guidance. Awareness of this card needs to be
emphasised throughout the Fellowship.
A telephone service requires support and participation by the groups and
members in its area, not only in a financial sense, but in every aspect of its
existence.
