Be a PenPal Sponsor for NA Members in Prison
Many NA members behind the walls are asking for sponsors. Help them work the Twelve Steps of Narcotics Anonymous by writing letters back and forth. Your contact information will be kept completely confidential because your sponsee will send his/her letters to a PO Box and then the letter will be forwarded to you.
Requirements:
- 1 Year Clean
- Male sponsors are especially needed as there are 20 times more men than women in prison
- Currently working the Twelve Steps of Narcotics Anonymous
Note: This is a collaborative effort between the Minnesota Region and the Santa Cruz Area in California. We're excited to work with our friends on the west coast partly because this has never been done before. Help us make this a huge success by furthering the miracle of recovery addict to addict.

Reaching Out
Reaching Out! Whether you are an NA member, a professional who works with recovering addicts, an incarcerated member or a member who provides Hospital and Institution service, this NA World Services newsletter may be a resource for you. Reaching Out in its design helps incarcerated addicts connect to the NA program of recovery, enhances H&I efforts and offers experience from members who successfully transitioned from the ‘inside’ to be productive members of society.
Online Seminars for NA Service
The attendance at the first online webinar for Public Relations Service was extremely encouraging. And the responses are positive.
"I had no idea what was involved with PR. This really gave me a good understanding of the possibilities."
"It was cool to meet trusted servants from all around the world and find out what they are doing"
"I just sent an email off to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and let them know I was interested and a couple weeks ahead of time, I got the information on how to attend."
"We even got to breakout into smaller chat rooms to discuss successes and challenges."
"I'm looking forward to the next one where we will prioritize the challenges and work on solutions."
These webinars are hosted by NA World Services. Several members have signed up for the online webinars, and we would like to encourage more area and regional chairpersons to participate. The areas of service for upcoming webinars are conventions, H&I, and PR.
If you would like to join and discuss issues and solutions with others who are serving in these areas, please send your name, email address, trusted servant position, and region and/or area to:
