HOME
Service is a vital part of the "triangle" of recovery, and staying sober! The best way to stop dwelling on your own problems is to get out of yourself and be of service to other alcoholics in recovery. There are a great many service opportunities to be found at the local, regional, and world AA levels, and the best place to start is with your local group(s).
Serenity Circle always has service positions open to Home Group Members, such as Hosts/Meeting Secretaries, co-hosts, lead speakers, timers and others.
Secretary/Host
The meeting Secretary (AKA Host) is responsible for opening the Zoom meeting room and facilitating the meeting.
Their responsibilities also include:
• Finding readers, timer, and a lead speaker.
• Co-hosting back room management, security, and timer.
• Opening meeting with preamble, announcements, readers, etc, according to meeting format/script, introducing lead speaker, calling on people to share, and ending the meeting on time.
• Keeping room open for fellowship after the meeting and closing the room afterwards, or turning host over to another trained host/cohost to do so.
Contact our host coordinator for more information and training.

The meeting co-host is responsible for:
• Admitting people from the waiting room
• Assisting with unmuting and screen sharing when needed
• Pasting announcements and links in the chat.
• Answering questions in chat.
The co-host may also be responsible Back Room/Security duties if there is no one else available to do so.

Back Room/Security
We try to have additional trained members co-hosted during each meeting, especially larger meetings, to assist in dealing with bombers and other potential security issues.
Back room management/security includes:
• Watching out for and quickly removing bombers as soon as they actually do something wrong.
• Locking down the chat room at the beginning of the meeting and re-opening it for chat and phone number sharing a few minutes before the end of the meeting.
• Dealing with other inappropriate behaviour, giving warnings via private chat, as needed, and removing offenders if necessary.
• Assisting with answering questions in chat.
Contact our host coordinator for more information and training.

Timer
The timer is just what it sounds like. This volunteer keeps track of the length of each person's share, and gives them a heads up when their time is almost up.
Because the timer must be co-hosted in order to share the timer app, all timers must also receive co-host training.
Contact our host coordinator for more information and training.

Lead Speaker
Most of our meetings are started off by a lead speaker. This person will share for five to seven minutes on the topic, which will be a reading from AA literature, a topic chosen by the speaker or the secretary, or that meeting's usual topic, depending on the meeting day and time.
You do not have to have a significant amount of time to be a lead speaker. We have newcomers, old-timers, and everyone in between lead for us. If you are serious about recovery and AA has made a difference in your life, you are qualified, and we want to hear from you!
Contact our host coordinator to volunteer as a lead speaker.
