Service in Co-Dependents Anonymous is vast and well organized. Beginning with Meeting level service, moving to Intergroup or Community Service, then Voting Entity Service and finally CoDA World service, there are many ways for you to be of service in Co-Dependents Anonymous. The current World Service Structure includes the CoDA Board, the Core Board, multiple Committees, Fellowship Connections, and the CoDA World Service Conference. For a complete explanation of our service structure, members are encouraged to read the CoDA Fellowship Service Manual.
CoDA has many opportunities for service at various levels. CoDA recommends starting service at the local level, in your home group. Once you have an idea of your available time and talents, you may wish to branch to the next level of service at your intergroup, Voting Entity (State or Country) and finally at Co-Dependents Anonymous, Inc. level. CoDA encourages the fellowship to get involved at the International level! Ways you can get involved at the local group level include.
