By typing my name below, I certify that:
1. I am at least 21 years old.
2. I have been actively attending Al-Anon meetings for a minimum of two years (in addition to any time I may have had in Alateen) and attend at least one Al-Anon meeting per week.
3. I have not been convicted of a felony, and not have been charged with child abuse or any other inappropriate sexual behavior, and not have demonstrated emotional problems which could result in harm to Alateen members. I have not had a final Protective or Peace Order issued against me.
4. I agree not have overt or covert sexual interactions (whether consensual or not) with an Alateen member, including but not limited to: touching a teen inappropriately; dating a teen who is an Alateen member; holding or hugging an Alateen member in an inappropriate manner.
5. I agree to allow the Area Alateen Process Person (AAPP) or person designated by AFG of MD and DC, Inc., at his/her option to independently verify the information I have presented on this Application, which may include checking references and criminal history records.

8. I understand that as an Al-Anon Member Involved in Alateen Service (AMIAS), my primary goal is to help the Alateen members follow the Al-Anon/Alateen program. Should anything interfere with this objective, i.e., accusations, controversy, threats of personal harm, etc., I will discontinue serving in this position immediately. Even if I feel totally blameless, I understand my removal from the situation will protect the Alateen members and preserve the unity of the fellowship as well. I understand that stepping away from sponsoring an Alateen group or being involved in Alateen service is not an admission of guilt.

I understand that these organizations are not under any obligation to appoint me as an Al-Anon Member Involved in Alateen Service (AMIAS).
