The primary goal of the San Diego Imperial County Regional Narcotics Anonymous Youth Sub-Committee
(from here on, referred to as NAYC) is to support the groups we serve in their efforts to further our fellowship’s primary purpose – to carry the message to the still suffering addict. Our primary approach will be to function as a sub-committee of the San Diego Imperial County Region of Narcotics Anonymous (from here on, referred to as RSC). We believe that the NAYC will promote unity within the fellowship by giving young people a voice in service and a sense of belonging within the community of Narcotics Anonymous as a whole. The NAYC will serve to encourage young addicts to get involved in their recovery enough to care about others and themselves by providing services to the fellowship. By setting an example, the trusted servants of the NAYC will show young addicts that being of service and giving back is part of how we stay clean.

This sub-committee will give young recovering addicts an opportunity to be introduced to regional service, giving them a foundation for future service positions. We will also strive to make Narcotics Anonymous meetings safe and friendly environments for parents to drop off their teenagers. We hope to make recovery available to underage youth who need parental consent to come to NA meetings. We will participate in outreach work in our communities to plan seeds of recovery in young addicts and let them know that no one is ever too young to find recovery in NA.

The NAYC was started in the spirit of unity
to help all addicts who want to stop using and find a new way to live.
