Does the West Pasco/Tarpon Springs A.A. Central Office Need Volunteers?

Updated

Yes. The District 15 – West Pasco Alcoholics Anonymous site states, in the listing for the Intergroup West Pasco/Tarpon Springs A.A. Central Office, “WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR OFFICE VOLUNTEERS.” That is a standing call for help at the central office, not a one-time event notice. The page does not describe schedules, training, or eligibility requirements, so anyone interested should contact the office directly to ask what is currently needed.

What the Site Says About Volunteering

The volunteer notice appears alongside the central office’s contact details on aapasco.org. The full listing identifies the office as:

  • Intergroup West Pasco/Tarpon Springs Alcoholics Anonymous
  • West Pasco / Tarpon Springs A.A. Central Office
  • Address: 5252 SR 54, New Port Richey, FL 34652
  • Phone: (727) 847-0777
  • Email: [email protected]

The phrase “always looking” suggests ongoing recruitment rather than a seasonal drive. Beyond that, the page gives no details about time commitments, duties, or how volunteers are selected.

How to Ask About Volunteering

Because the site provides only the general notice, the practical next step is to reach the office and ask specifically about office volunteer opportunities.

By phone

Call (727) 847-0777. This is the central office line listed on the page. When you call, you can ask:

  • Whether office volunteer positions are open right now
  • What days and times volunteers are needed
  • Whether any orientation or training is provided
  • Who coordinates the volunteer schedule

By email

Write to [email protected]. An email is useful if you want a written answer or prefer to explain your availability in advance. Mention that you saw the volunteer notice on the District 15 site and ask for current needs.

In person

The office address is 5252 SR 54, New Port Richey, FL 34652. Visiting during office hours is another way to ask about volunteering, though the page does not list office hours, so calling ahead is sensible.

What to Confirm Before Committing

The site does not answer several questions a prospective volunteer would reasonably have. Confirm these with the office rather than assuming:

Question Why it matters
Current volunteer needs “Always looking” is a general statement; specific roles may vary
Schedule and time commitment The page lists no shifts or hours
Training or onboarding No requirements are described
Duties Office volunteer work could include answering phones, greeting visitors, or other tasks — the page does not specify

Who This Is For

This notice is relevant to anyone in the District 15 service area who wants to support the local A.A. central office with their time. District 15 serves Aripeka, Holiday, Hudson, Port Richey, Shady Hills, Tarpon Springs, and New Port Richey, so volunteers from those communities are the natural audience. The page does not state that volunteers must live in these areas, but the office serves them.

If you are outside this area, the page also lists other A.A. hotline numbers — Tampa/Hillsborough (813-933-9123), Hernando County (352-683-4597), Pinellas County (727-530-0415), and East Pasco/Polk (863-688-0211) — which may point you to the right local office.

Bottom Line

The West Pasco/Tarpon Springs A.A. Central Office does want volunteers, according to the explicit notice on aapasco.org. The site does not spell out how the program works, so the reliable path is to call (727) 847-0777 or email [email protected] and ask about current office volunteer needs, schedules, and any preparation required.
