Please reply to cphone@coda.org
In 2010, the CoDA world Communication committee was part of the effort to implement a volunteer staffed telephone call response process. Currently we have several volunteers who handle these types of calls. We are always looking for additional people for this effort. If you are an English and/or Spanish speaker who would like to become such a volunteer, and have the qualifications listed below, please send an email to cphone@coda.org. Calls can be handled from any location; they will be forwarded to a phone of your choosing.
TRUSTED SERVANTS WANTING TO ANSWER PHONE CALLS COMING INTO CoDA WORLD SERVICE NEED TO:
Live in the United States, since our current process is only set up for the US. At a later date we hope to expand the service to other countries.
Have at least 2 years experience in Co-Dependents Anonymous, working the CoDA Steps and studying the CoDA Traditions, ideally with a CoDA sponsor
Have done other service work in CoDA
Be willing to speak with one of the trusted servants already doing this service, to learn what this experience entails. In speaking with another member, will you be willing to share how your recovery reflects these basic points:
- How you have worked the CoDA Steps and Traditions?
- What other ways are you doing or have you done service?
- Can you bear in mind the need for detachment: to handle calls without becoming overly involved with the caller?
If you have a general question about CoDA (as opposed to the specific content of this email), please email outreach@coda.org
For questions in Spanish, please email espanol@coda.org

The purpose of this list is to share information with any & all CoDA members, especially that which may effect CoDA as a whole.
We will be sending out regular emails with CoDA events, announcements, issues & CoDA business of interest to both specific regions & to the entire CoDA fellowship.
Per the 2nd tradition, For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority, a loving higher power as expressed to our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern. Developing a group conscience requires an informed fellowship, & to be effective trusted servants those you've elected must know the group conscience of the fellowship.
