START YOUR NEW ONLINE MEETING:

 

One-on-One Support for New Meeting Creation

You can use RRWS’s online zoom support team and executive Zoom account to help you create and maintain your free Zoom meeting.

AN OVERVIEW OF THE PROCESS:

You will schedule a one-on-one meeting with the founder Noah Levine to discuss your new meeting and any questions you might have prior to creating and listing your new online meeting.

You will then be assigned an online volunteer who will schedule a one-on-one support training where you can ask any and all questions you might have. They will offer online guidance, resources and will be a future contact if you have questions.

RRWS will create a Zoom meeting ID for you - if you choose to use a Zoom account which we offer for free - and place your meeting on the RRWS meeting listing on the website.

List Your Meeting on RRWS Meeting Listing Page

If you have previously held an in-person meeting and do not require support, you can fill out the RRWS new online meeting listing form to register your meeting on RRWS Meeting Listing page.

 
 

REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW ONLINE MEETINGS:

1. Commit to being the meeting secretary for the next 6 months. The secretary is responsible for running the meeting. 

*If you have less than 6 months of sobriety and time in Refuge Recovery meetings, we are very happy to help you get a meeting going. Although we do suggest that people have 6 months of continuous abstinence before starting a meeting on their own, we are happy to be flexible about this guideline.

We ask you to be willing to start the meeting and then recruit some of people who have more than six months to join you in service to the group. It would be helpful if you could elect a group rep for the meeting right away.

2. Let us know that you understand and acknowledge The Essential Elements of a Refuge Recovery Meeting &  The Guiding Principles of a Refuge Recovery Meeting.

3. Decide on your date, time & meeting name.

MEETING RESOURCES:

If you want to purchase books, we have a group price if you order 10 or more (shipping included). 

RR Meeting resources, including formats, are available in .pdf form here.
