Sponsorship at Perry Street

AA defines a sponsor in this way:

“An alcoholic who has made some progress in the recovery program who shares that experience on a continuous, individual basis with another who is attempting to attain or maintain sobriety through AA”

“AA Sponsorship…Its Obligations and Its Responsibilities”
by Clarence H. Snyder, 1944

Perry Street’s Interim Sponsorship Program

Perry Street offers an interim sponsorship program designed to facilitate connections between prospective sponsors and sponsees. You can reach out to our sponsorship coordinators via phone (their numbers are available on the bulletin board behind the desk) or by email at interimsponsorship@perrystreetbusiness.org.

For those seeking an interim sponsor:

Please provide your name, phone number, and optionally, your email address. It is also helpful to include the date you joined AA.

For those interested in becoming an interim sponsor:

If you have been clean and dry for at least one year and are interested in becoming an interim sponsor, please provide your name, phone number, and optionally, your email address. Additionally, it would be helpful to include the year of your last drink and your birth year. Although the length of sobriety and age are not usually crucial in a sponsorship relationship, they can be significant for members who prefer a sponsor who has been sober longer or is close to their age.

Please help us keep our doors open!
