Local Service Resources
This compilation of resources for local service committees is presented so that NA groups and service bodies might benefit from others’ experience and work. Much of the material found here has been developed by local service bodies who have shared their resources with us; this material is not approved or endorsed by NA World Services or the World Service Conference. Alongside those locally developed materials, we have also included related resources developed by NA World Services.
Anyone is free to download any of these materials, and all of these resources can be used or adapted as your local service committee sees fit. If they help you in your efforts, please feel free to adapt them to your needs. They should not be viewed as rules or mandates. Please look in the subheadings for files in languages other than English.
If your area or region wishes to share locally developed resources, please send them to [email protected], and we will post them on the site. NA World Services reserves the right to remove any item from this area without exception.
