Barrie Intergroup - Call Centre Volunteers NEEDED
2024-03-05 - 2028-03-05 | Barrie Intergroup Office, 80 Bradford Street, Barrie, Ontario, Canada
Barrie and Intergroup Office
July 31st, 2024
Dear friends in Sobriety,
Your Barrie and Area Intergroup is committed to providing AA information in an organized way to promote and support service within our District (08).
Currently, our office is undergoing a reorganization process. The Barrie and Area Intergroup serves as the representative voice for all meeting groups in our district, and our effectiveness is contingent upon the engagement of these groups. We can only do as well as the Groups allow us. We encourage you to GET INVOLVED.
As part of our restructuring efforts, we need to modify the phone volunteer shifts. To facilitate this change, we request the names and contact numbers of individuals interested in serving within the Intergroup. We aim to establish a call forwarding system for weekday evenings (Monday to Friday) starting at 4 PM and continuing until the following day, 10 AM. Weekend calls will still be managed from Friday at 4 PM until Monday at 10 AM. Training and information will be provided either in person (preferred) or remotely. Please note that a minimum of one year of sobriety is required for this volunteer position. With sufficient volunteers, we anticipate that the ‘on-call’ phone responsibilities can be rotated among participants. The greater the number of willing volunteers, the less individual duty time will be necessary to cover the shifts.
We are also seeking ‘in-office’ phone volunteers for the shifts from 10 AM to 1 PM (Monday to Friday) and from 1 PM to 4 PM (Wednesday).
Your participation and willingness to serve are crucial in determining how effectively our Intergroup office can offer the necessary support and services to those who reach out to us.
Should you have any questions or require clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours in love and service,
Krystyna W

Join us for the District 8 Georgian Bay South July/August 2026 Birthday Celebrations.
This celebration honours members across District 8 who are marking meaningful sobriety anniversaries during the July/August period. Together, these milestones reflect the strength of recovery, the power of fellowship, and the hope that continues to grow one day at a time.
This period includes 46 birthday celebrations, representing a combined 455 years of sobriety. From newcomers celebrating their first year to long-time members marking decades of recovery, each anniversary is a powerful reminder that the AA program works.
Please come together in unity, gratitude, and support as we recognize these milestones and celebrate the gift of sobriety.
All are welcome.
