12th Step Service Opportunities
Twelth Step Service
Regardless of what step you may be working, there are 12th Step opportunities within our community.
If you are ready to do twelfth step service work, please consider service to the San Diego County CoDA Community. The Community supports the individual CoDA meetings in San Diego County by providing some of the following:
monthly printed and emailed version of the newsletter
this web site
regularly scheduled activities
Super Seminar Saturdays, a quarterly event
bulk literature and token sales
These benefits happen because someone has stepped forward to give of their time, knowing that service is part of recovery.
There is fellowship and a sense of fulfillment that comes from making an appreciable contribution to something outside of oneself. Some offices, or positions, take less time than others, but become tailored to the needs of the person filling the position.
Opportunity for twelfth step work is knocking at your door. Will you answer it?
Current Opportunities
Recording Secretary
is responsible for taking and transcribing the minutes of the monthly Committee zoom meetings. The zoom meetings are recorded, so its easy to review the meeting at your own pace. The minutes include summaries of reports, motions and other matters. The minutes from the prior meeting are distributed before the following meeting, at which time they are motioned for approval. This is an important position — and like all community positions, are great opportunity to practice and build your recovery skills.
Outreach
