Project #1: MentorshipDEFINITION OF THE MENTORSHIP SUB-COMMITTEE
• To provide understanding, training, and guidance in matters affecting our local service system.
• To cater to the needs of groups who may not have the time or resources to dedicate to guide new or potential trusted servants.
• To identify topics and issues that come up in the GSUs and create workshops and learning days to help address those items.
• To create a Passaic County Area local service pool to address the specific needs of the delivery of services.
• To facilitate and present a service workshop at the Area Service meeting, except in March when elections occur.
• To help create a better trained and more informed level of trusted servant to help foster unity and more successfully carry the message to the addict who still suffers.
