Underserved and
Remote Communities


Many A.A. members live in underserved or remote communities — communities that are difficult to reach because of the geography, language or culture. It might be a community that is far away, or one that is right around the corner; one that is comfortable using English-language resources or one that is not. It could be a group of people who have frequently been underserved:
African-Americans, Eastern Europeans, Asians, Hispanics, women.


Resources available: There are a number of A.A.pamphlets available through G.S.O. that focus on the experience of underserved communities, including: “A.A. for the Gay/Lesbian Alcoholic,” “A.A. for the Black/AfricanAmerican Alcoholic,” “Many Paths to Spirituality,” “Memo to An Inmate Who May Be an Alcoholic,” “A.A. for the Native North American,” “Message to Teenagers,” “A.A. for the Woman.” Additionally, a G.S.O. staff member provides shared experience on working with remote communities.
