Become A Member
We NEED YOU! The heart of the Recovery Center is our members. Membership at South Shore Peer Recovery Center is inclusive. Anyone with lived experience as an individual in recovery, family member, or ally. It is FREE.
We are a peer led, peer driven community that uses the peer participatory model (peer voice and choice) to make decisions for the Center.
As Members:
You will have a voice in the programming and policies of our Recovery Center.
You will be invited to participate in Member appreciation events.
You will receive a call from a community member to check in if we have not seen you for some time.
You may participate in hands on opportunities to make the center your own through facilitation, chairing committees and participating in SSPR strategic decision making.
You will have access to opportunities for hands-on training and workshops.
We ask that you…
Commit to being a role model for new participants and members at the Recovery Center by ensuring our Center remains a safe space for all.
Participate in opportunities to provide community input, feedback and insight into programming and decision making.
We appreciate your interest in our volunteer program. Since the beginning South Shore Peer Recovery has depended on volunteers and we could not do it without your help.
Whether you can help our 1-2 hours a week, 1-2 hours a day, or support as available, there is always ways to help. No experience required.
General Center Support:
Be a welcoming and supportive presence at the Scituate Recovery Center. You can help in a variety of ways – answering the phone, providing information and general support to walk-ins, creating a community environment, organizing, and helping to keep our Center clean.
*Please note: General Center support is about providing a safe space for volunteers and an opportunity to give back. There will not always be projects to work on and the role is intended to provide peers with a safe space to be, work independently in quiet time, and provide community interaction for those walking in.
Outreach:
Help us spread South Shore Peer Recovery’s message of hope! Interested in being a vocal and visual advocate for the Recovery Center? We are constantly seeking peers to help at outreach tabling events, putting up flyers, and attending local events and coalitions to represent our organization and community.
Facilitating/Starting a group or activity:
If you are interested in starting a group, organizing an activity, or running a workshop we would love to hear from you!
Participating on Peer Committees:
SSPR uses the peer participatory model. The voices of our community members matter most. We have several committees that meet regularly or as needed to help plan things such as Social Activities, Outreach, and the St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
Event Planning & Support:
Interested in putting event planning skills to use? We regularly plan social events and annual fundraisers that include Comedy Shows and Recovery Rocks. We are constantly looking for support for our small staff team to bring these events to life.
…and Special Projects.
Please take a few minutes to fill out this form so that we can understand your interests and skills. We will connect in the coming days regarding next steps. Thank you!
