About the Syracuse Al-Anon Information Service (A.I.S.)

WHAT IS THE SYRACUSE AL-ANON INFORMATION SERVICE?

The Syracuse Al-Anon / Alateen Information Service (AIS) is a local Service Center established by the local Al-Anon and Alateen groups in the Syracuse Metropolitan Area (including Onondaga, Cayuga, Oswego Counties, and parts of Cortland and Madison Counties) and is supported by the local Al-Anon Family Groups. The AIS operates an Al-Anon Service Center and handles all information inquiries from Al-Anon and Alateen members as well as from the general public and the professional community

The Syracuse Al-Anon Information Service Center and Literature Depot is staffed by volunteers from the local Al-Anon Family groups. The Service Center is located on the first Floor of the old Maria Regina College Campus, now operated as the Pen and Pages Center by the Sisters of Saint Francis. The Al-Anon Service Center is in Room 11. Parking is available on the Grant Boulevard side of the Maria Regina complex. Entry to the building can be made by the doors on the left-hand side of the building, closest to the Wilson Convent. Listed below are the current hours that the Service Center is staffed by a volunteer. However, always call ahead (315) 471-0191 just to make sure someone is at the service center.
