The Twelve Concepts of World Service

The Twelve Concepts of World Service are guiding principles for the leadership and management of Alcoholics Anonymous' global structure. They emphasize accountability, unity, and shared responsibility among groups and service entities. These principles help ensure transparency, effective decision-making, and ongoing support for the fellowship’s mission to help alcoholics recover. Essentially, they outline how the organization functions collectively, balancing authority with humility, and promote a healthy system that empowers members at all levels to contribute and uphold the organization’s integrity.
