What is Alateen?

• Alateen is a fellowship of young people (mostly teenagers) whose lives have been affected by someone else’s drinking.

• Alateen is where young people can get help and support in a safe place with safe adults (e.g., adults have undergone training & passed background checks).

• Where teens meet other Alateens and learn effective ways to cope with the effects of alcoholism on their lives.

• Alateen is not a religious program, and there are no dues or fees to belong.

What is Alateen Service?

Al-Anon members who wish to support Alateens at Alateen meetings and at conferences/conventions may certify to be an Al-Anon Member Involved in Alateen Service (AMIAS). AMIAS give their time to provide a safe environment for the teens and ensure that the spiritual principles of the Al-Anon program are shared with the Alateens. For more information about Alateen service, contact the Area Alateen Coordinator.
