Recovery Ambassadors: Building Connection, Sharing Hope

Recovery Ambassadors embody the spirit of service that lies at the heart of long-term recovery. As alumni, family members, and friends of Caron, they offer support, encouragement, and understanding to those seeking hope and direction on their own recovery journeys.

Connection is the cornerstone of recovery. As Father Bill often reminded us, “One person reaching out to another gives hope. A sober person reaching out to a hurting person—saying, ‘We have the answer. It worked for me. It can work for you. And I will help you along this journey.’” Recovery Ambassadors live out this message by being that one person who reaches out, listens, and walks beside someone else.

Often, Recovery Ambassadors serve as the first connection in a new alum’s sober network, offering encouragement, experience, and a shared sense of belonging. These early connections can make all the difference in helping someone feel seen, supported, and grounded as they begin life after treatment.

Recovery Ambassadors give back to the Caron community in a variety of ways:

Recovery Ambassadors show others that they are not alone. By sharing their story, offering support, and living the promise of recovery, they help light the way forward—one person, one conversation, one connection at a time.
