Alcoholics Anonymous Oregon Area 58

 

Corrections Committee:

What C.F.C. does:

“Alcoholics Anonymous members participate in carrying the A.A. message into corrections facilities as part of their own sobriety and to give individuals within the corrections facilities an opportunity to find sobriety and the A.A. way of living sober.”

The Corrections Committee acts to facilitate inside A.A. Meetings and Groups by providing assistance and information to A.A. members and A.A. Groups desiring to participate in this work.

Corrections Participation ‘ How It Works”

Corrections Facilities invite A.A. to bring A.A. meetings to problem drinkers in the facilities. An A.A. member or AA Group becomes the Outside Sponsor for the Inside Meeting. Members are scheduled to take the meeting into the facility on a weekly or monthly basis. Where members are available, Team Leaders take meetings into the facility once each month with other A.A. guest members. Outside Sponsors, Team Leaders and Panel Members attend the Facility orientation, so as to know and abide with the facility rules and regulations. Outside Sponsors coordinate the Team Leader schedules for 6 months or one year.
