Volunteers are the backbone of Al-Anon, and MAIS recognizes the enormous value that everyone who volunteers brings. Whether you have a few hours to spare each week or can dedicate more time, your service contribution can make a significant difference in the lives of those Al-Anon serves.

​

Why Volunteer?

1. MAIS service volunteers directly contribute to our mission. 

2. Volunteering is an opportunity to connect with other Al-Anon members who share a passion for helping others who have been affected by someone else's drinking.

3. Engaging in volunteer activities may enhance personal growth in Al-Anon.

4. “Participation is the key to harmony.”-Concept 4:  Building relationships with other Al-Anon members can create a sense of fellowship.
