OBJECTIVE

• Narateen is an important part of the worldwide fellowship of Nar-Anon Family Groups. Narateen provides support and hope to young people whose lives have been affected by a relative or friend’s addiction.  Narateen meetings are organized and monitored by certified volunteer Nar-Anon members known as Adult Facilitators.

• The SoCal Region Narateen Committee has joined forces with the Central and Northern California regions to form "CAN" (California Narateen) as a way to pool resources and reduce duplicating administrative efforts which are very complex regarding compliance and regulatory laws in the State of CA.​

  • CAN is actively organizing a presence for Narateen within California and we're planning on announcing new meetings very soon.

  • We are currently actively recruiting and training volunteers to serve as Adult Facilitators for our meetings and/or to serve on our committee.  Any member who is interested in volunteering is encouraged to email:  Narateen@naranoncentralca.org​​

• Committee Duties:

  • Obtain approval to launch Narateen group meetings from the World Service Narateen Committee by creating and implementing Guidelines and a Safety Handbook that fulfils the requirements of both WS and the State of CA​

  • Recruit and train Adult Facilitators who help guide teens to ensure that the focus of the meetings is in keeping with the Twelve Steps, Twelve Traditions, and Twelve Concepts of Nar-Anon.

    • This committee must also  manage CA State background check requirements as required by the CA Dept. of Justice​

  • Launch group meetings once requirements are met

  • Pursue outreach efforts with the goal of expanding and improving the presence  of Narateen within the SoCal region and throughout the fellowship 

  • Create an annual budget
