Service Ambassadors

What is a Service Ambassador?

Anyone can be a Service Ambassador—all that is needed is the willingness to:

• Making MA Announcements
• Encouraging Others to be of Service
• Sharing Service Opportunities
• Service Sponsor

Service Ambassador’s purpose is to build the culture of service into everyone member’s recovery. We are on a mission to help MA create the fellowship we crave and the unity we need. Where members are willing to start and continue to be of service to the fellowship that supports us all.

“…if there is no service, there is no program… It is our responsibility to do what we can to make sure that MA continues to be there for us, for the marijuana addict who still suffers, and for the addict who is not yet born.” – Step Twelve, Life with Hope

Encouraging Others

Service Ambassadors inspire others by sharing information about service opportunities and making it easier to grasp how simple it is. Many members simply don’t know where to get started. They may be unsure if they have the abilities or skill set. All it takes is for someone like yourself to empower them and gain an understanding that they can be of service. Motivating them with the ways it will benefit themselves and our fellowship.

Sharing Service Opportunities

There are always service opportunities available throughout MA. A great resource to share with others is the page Marijuana-Anonymous.org/Service this page introduces how service helps us as individuals and as a fellowship. There are links to other pages that explain ways to get started in service at the:

• Meeting Level
• District Level
• World Service Level

Service Sponsorship

Service Sponsors offer support and guidance to the next member as they take on the responsibilities of their new service commitment. Sharing your knowledge of how a service position is actually done, what it entails . . . 

Service Sponsors may be willing to take on commitments alongside or with members newer to service such as by being co-secretaries or co-chairs (or being a “service shadow” i.e. DSC vice-chairs who learn to become chairs)
