Phone Service

Orientation

Orientation is required for all volunteers who would like to be of service and answer phones at the office. Orientation is held the first Monday of every month from 7 - 10 pm at the Intergroup office. Orientation usually takes about 20 - 30 minutes. If you would like more information on orientation, please email officesecretary@fairfieldcountyintergroup.org.

General Information for Answering Phones

There is a 90 day sobriety requirement.

You can get oriented the first Monday of the Month during the 7 p.m. - 10 p.m. shift or make an appointment with Heath at 203-858-0650 or officesecretary@fairfieldcountyintergroup.org.

Sign up for a shift (10 a.m. - 1 p.m. - 1 p.m.- 4 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.) by contacting Jason at 517-285-6438 or schedules@fairfieldcountyintergroup.org. If you're an individual you can pick a time you'd like to sign up for or if your group would like to pass around a sheet for people to sign up - the group can elect an Intergroup Rep to coordinate this. The sheets are emailed to the Reps over a week in advance of each upcoming month. Choose as many slots as you think you're group members can fill. Group slots are given randomly (you can't pick the times).

If you can't commit to a shift or you don't attend a group that passes a sheet, get oriented and submit your email address to Jason at 517-285-6438 or schedules@fairfieldcountyintergroup.org. When a group realizes a shift they have isn't being taken, they notify Eric and he sends out an email. In this way someone volunteers to fill it and the timeslot won't go unfilled. This has been working nicely.
