Walk beside someone

Volunteer as a Trail Guide.

Start with an orientation request. We review interest privately before training or matching. Your information will not appear in a public directory.

A Trail Guide can listen, encourage, check in, share lived experience, and help someone find official meetings or professional resources.

A Trail Guide cannot diagnose, provide therapy, direct medication, hold money, promise confidentiality in danger, or serve as an emergency responder.

AA, NA, Al-Anon, and other fellowships manage sponsorship through their own traditions and communities. A Living Ascent Trail Guide is not automatically an official fellowship sponsor.
