The Alcoholics Anonymous fellowship is nonprofessional, self-supporting, multiracial, apolitical, and available almost everywhere. The General Service Office (GSO) in the Morningside Heights neighborhood of New York City employs approximately 85 individuals (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and serves over 2 million members in the U.S. and Canada.

Not only is our team incredibly mission-driven, but also tremendously supportive of each other as both colleagues and individuals.
