We help AA groups carry the message to the Deaf alcoholic. We do this by hiring professional sign language interpreters for meetings and paying those interpreters for their service. We hire skilled interpreters who are familiar with AA and committed to anonymity. Our up-to-date calendar of interpreted meetings is available to keep the sober Deaf community informed ASL-interpreted meetings. Our amazing team of regulars and part-time volunteers are committed to helping others. We take our convictions and turn them into action. Think you would be a good fit? See our form below for more information!

Deaf and Hard of Hearing AA members need the fellowships’ assistance in order to both receive the message and be able to interact with other AA members and be a part of the group. The Southern Wisconsin DAC exists in order to foster relationships between the hearing and the Deaf AA members and insure consistency of AA meetings with qualified interpreters. Because the financial burden of this is too much for any one AA member, or for any one home group, we are requesting that every AA group consider designating a portion of their 7th tradition funds toward our spiritual responsibility: When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, I want the hand of AA to be there!
The 7th Tradition Contribution
To contribute toward our primary purpose in helping carry the message to our deaf AA members, some groups pass a separate basket designated for this purpose, and some groups and districts set aside a specified amount per month or quarter. After consulting with your home group members, through the group conscience, please send designated amounts to the DAC Committee's mailing address, found on the Contribute page.
