We provide a safe and reliable program to heighten awareness, hope, and resources for our local communities. We aim to end the stigma of the disease of addiction by sharing our stories with middle and high school students, parents, and communities. As Alumni In Recovery volunteers, we speak openly about our struggles with addiction and how we overcame them.

WE ARE A SERVICE-BASED VOLUNTEER PROGRAM
Originating in Bergen County, NJ, and rapidly expanding throughout the Northeast, we offer awareness services to schools and communities.

WE ARE PEOPLE IN RECOVERY
Our recovery members are abstinent from all mind-altering drugs, including alcohol. They are responsible, local young adults living in the community, rebuilding their lives and actively living a life of recovery.

OUR PARENT PROGRAM
Our town and school-based events for parents/adults are intended to help them navigate the addiction landscape. These events typically consist of two Recovery Members and a bereaved parent sharing their personal stories of loss. These events bring together real-life voices to change the perception of substance abuse and addiction.

OUR PARTICIPANTS SPEAK FROM THEIR HEARTS
As an act of love and caring, our volunteers do not expect anything other than the gratitude that comes from helping others. It is their hope that Alumni In Recovery helps others better understand this deadly disease — all with the desire to help save lives.
