Members
Members are the backbone to our work and vital to strengthening the recovery network to increase accessibility to recovery for all.
Members
We count on our members to share our efforts with others in recovery in hopes that they will join us in taking action on behalf of others in this process. PRO•A asks that you “pass the word” to your friends, family, other supporters of recovery about our organization and the work we do in an effort to unite recovery communities across PA and speak out about recovery.
Your Voice is valuable!
We value and encourage regular input from the grassroots level and from individuals. This input is important for developing inclusive state-wide and national recovery communities that are accessible to all. Misunderstandings still dominate the ways in which recovering people may be perceived. These misconceptions commonly lead to major hurdles. Common hurdles include the closing of doors to employment, housing, relationships, and life. When these things occur, our individual members and organizational members are called into action to support change that will unlock doors and open opportunities for people affected by alcohol and other drug addiction. For more information on mentorship and organizational memberships, please contact the PRO•A office at (717) 545-8929 or proa.asst@pro-a.org
We do offer free e-membership, but donations are a vital component to our work . Donations provide the basic resources we need to take action, build tools, conduct surveys and address policy issues that directly impact the recovery community.
Please consider making a one-time or reoccurring donation.

Who can become a member of PRO•A?
Anyone can become a member! Collectively, we are individuals and organizations of trained professional staff; experienced and committed board members, and knowledgeable and dedicated volunteer members. As Pennylvannia’s statewide Recovery Community Organization, our organization and members are comprised of:
- Recovery Community Organizations (RCO’s) and Recovery Support Groups (RSG’s)
- Individuals from the recovery and family communities
- Drug and alcohol professionals.
- Friends and allies of recovery
Why do individuals become PRO•A members?
Many of the people involved with PRO•A are recovering or know someone in recovery. Our members know through lived experience:
- The support that persons who are new to recovery need.
- The valuable understanding of how common misconceptions about addiction and recovery frequently challenge an individual’s ability to fully participate in our society.
- That people with alcohol and other drug addictions can and do live “regular lives.”
