NA Service

NA Service Structure

Narcotics Anonymous service is structured in an inverted pyramid featuring three levels of service similar to that of Alcoholics Anonymous. The three levels of service include the meeting/group, which occupies the broad base at the top of the pyramid. The middle level represents service at the local level. The tip of the pyramid consists of serving at the World Level of Narcotics Anonymous Service.

General Service Representatives (GSR’s), delegates, trustees, and committee members at all levels of Narcotics Anonymous service are the trusted servants of the NA fellowship. They do not govern and have no authority. Each individual serves at the direction of the fellowships membership, with only a loving God as the ultimate authority. It is vital to the unity of NA that information and service effort flow smoothly between the three levels of the Narcotics Anonymous service structure.

 New members are encouraged to get involved in service at the group level of NA. Once you have established your foundation at the group level, we encourage you to branch to the next level of service at the local NA level, before moving on to the World Service Level of Narcotics Anonymous. Ways you can get involved at the local group level include.

• Bring a friend to a meeting
• Set-up and break down the meeting
• Speak at a meeting, share your experience, strength and hope.
• Welcome newcomers, give them your phone number
• Say yes to service and grow in NA.
