Service Keeps Us Sober!
East Bay Intergroup is looking for a Hotline Chair for the 24-hour Hotline. Many members’ first encounter with A.A. is through the Hotlin
e.
The Hotline shifts are divided into 4 hour increments and the calls are routed to either the volunteer’s mobile or land line number.
When on shift, staffers give out meeting info, share their own experience, strength and hope with the still-suffering alcoholic, and answer any questions about A.A.
Hotline Chair responsibilities include:
• The main responsibility is to make sure that each and every shift is staffed. This includes ensuring continuity between shifts, keeping track of open shifts that need filling, and sometimes covering shifts when no one else steps up.
• Other responsibilities include: counseling Hotline volunteers on calls they receive, assisting volunteers on tech issues when necessary, routing 12th step calls to 12th step volunteers
If you are interested in becoming Hotline Chair, or if you’d like to serve on a Hotline shift:
