About Bridging the Gap

Plain-language summary

What this IS:
  • A short-term AA connection to help people get to their first meetings.
  • A same-gender recovered AA member who can walk beside a newcomer.
  • A way to build fellowship and hope.
What this IS NOT:
  • Not a rideshare or taxi service.
  • Not job placement, housing, money, or legal help.
  • Not counseling or emergency services.

If you need other types of help, call 211 in the U.S. for local services. We can still connect you to AA.

Why It Matters

Bridging the Gap helps people make a first AA connection after treatment. It is a short-term service rooted in Twelfth Step work, and it is meant to help newcomers get to their first meetings, meet members, and find hope.

Get Support Volunteer to Serve

Bridging the Gap connects people leaving treatment with recovered alcoholics who live by a spiritual program of action. Our purpose is simple: to help newcomers find meetings, fellowship, and a real solution to alcoholism. We don't offer treatment — we offer connection and hope.
