Alumni in Recovery

Alumni in Recovery is a non-profit organization based in Westwood, New Jersey. With three employees, the organization is dedicated to ending the stigma surrounding addiction. They achieve this through a service-based, volunteer program composed of young adults who are living in recovery from drugs and alcohol. Alumni in Recovery provides awareness services to middle and high school students, parents, and communities throughout the Northeast. Their programs feature recovery members sharing their personal stories, aiming to foster understanding and empathy for those affected by addiction. They also host town and school-based events for parents and adults, featuring recovery members and bereaved parents sharing their experiences. These events seek to help parents navigate the complex landscape of addiction and change perceptions surrounding substance abuse. What sets Alumni in Recovery apart is its reliance on personal narratives from individuals living in recovery. Their volunteers, driven by compassion and a desire to save lives, offer their stories as a powerful tool for education and awareness. Alumni in Recovery emphasizes the importance of real-life experiences in combating the stigma associated with addiction.
