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!
