Every year, each Area in Al-Anon Family Groups’ World Service Conference Structure (USA, Canada, and Bermuda) is required to take part in the Annual Alateen Recertification process in order to continue to use the Alateen name. The 2003 Alateen Motion from the Board of Trustees (see the Appendix of the “Al-Anon/Alateen Service Manual” [P-24/27]) and the policy for Alateen explain this.

The recertification process is twofold:

1️⃣ To verify that every registered Alateen group has currently certified Al-Anon Members Involved in Alateen Service (AMIAS):

✅ as Group Sponsor(s)
✅ as the Current Mailing Address (CMA) for the Alateen group
✅ as a Phone Contact for the public for the Alateen group

2️⃣ To verify the current certification of all AMIAS

We ask that all Areas complete the Alateen recertification by June 15, 2026!

Contact your Area Alateen Coordinator, Area Alateen Process Person, or District Representative to verify the process in your Area. Don’t miss this opportunity to share your recovery by serving Alateen!

Will you share your experience being a Sponsor?

‼️ Will you share your experience being a Sponsor for a new piece of Al-Anon Family Groups’ literature on Sponsorship and Service Sponsorship?

Here are some topics to consider:

⭐ Learning to love unconditionally as a Sponsor
⭐ Passing on my knowledge as a Service Sponsor
⭐ Studying the Legacies together
⭐ Discovering the spiritual principles of sponsorship

This is not an exhaustive list, and we welcome members to write about any other sponsorship topics or experiences that they have had.

MINNESOTA ROAD TRIP!!! ❤️🚙

19th Big Ole Roundup in Alexandria, MN - an AA event with Al-Anon support. Al-Anon speakers featured on Friday and Saturday, March 6 & 7.

Your Intergroup needs you!
Have you ever bought literature or medallions at the Saint Paul Al-Anon/Alateen Intergroup office in the Recovery Church in Saint Paul?

Have you used the Intergroup website (shared with Minneapolis AIS) to find a meeting or to get information about using Zoom?

Have you enjoyed good food and speakers at a Saint Paul Al-Anon Gratitude Night?

Some of these opportunities may be a thing of the past unless members step up to participate in Intergroup.

- Most months this year no more than six members have attended the monthly meetings of Intergroup Representatives (IRs). There were only 4 at the December meeting. This is not enough (< 5% of about 98 groups) to do business like electing officers or starting outreach projects like the 2024 billboard at Marshall and Cretin.

- The bookstore is no longer open on Saturdays because of lack of volunteers.

- The same people continue to do service in Intergroup without regard to the principle of rotation.

- There are many open service positions. See Service Opportunies page for information about them. https://al-anon-alateen-msp.org/pages/SPIGHome/SPIGVolunteerPositions.html
These opportunities can enhance your personal growth in Al-Anon. Service is not just about helping Intergroup, it will help you, as well.

If you think you don’t know enough or don’t have the skills, remember that everyone active in service was once in that position. If you are willing, there are people to bring you up to speed and get you started.

Start by volunteering to be an Intergroup Representative and join us for our in-person meetings at the Recovery Church, 253 State St., 7 PM every second Tuesday. The next meeting will be January 13.

There are many ways to enrich your Al-Anon program by getting involved in Saint Paul Al‑Anon/Alateen Intergroup. Here are some of the volunteer positions that enable Intergroup to carry out its mission.
