Intergroup Service Opportunities

Intergroup has several service opportunities that allow our trusted volunteers to contribute their life skills for the benefit of service to others. Members are invited to apply for themselves or nominate a member for a Service Board vacancy by emailing chair@oaontario.org. 

Boost your service by joining a committee: Any OA member can join a committee, no abstinence required (some restrictions apply to the Telephone committee).

Are you interested in service above the committee level, consider a board position.
