Ironbound Portuguese and Spanish Group

Types of AA Meetings

Open: Open AA meetings in New Jersey allow anyone who wants to learn more about AA to attend a session. During this time, members will share their experiences and recovery journey with AA, allowing attendees to learn firsthand how the program works and what the 12 step recovery model includes.

Portuguese: Portuguese AA groups are generally made up of people from Portugal or who have Portuguese ancestry. Meetings may be held entirely in Portuguese, and recovery may include Portuguese cultural practices.

Spanish: Spanish AA meetings are intended for members who have limited English-speaking skills or those who choose to participate in Spanish. Other features of the center, such as AA literature or sign-language interpreters, may or may not be available in Spanish.
