Donate to Support the SMART Recovery Training Scholarship Fund

Help us train 100 new trainees and start 100 new meetings!

We have a goal of raising $10,000 this month, which would cover the cost of 100 training scholarships! More individuals trained means more SMART Recovery meetings in communities around the country.

Help us spread SMART Recovery to more who need it. Donate to the Volunteer Month Scholarship Training Fund between now and April 15^th.

Your contribution makes a significant impact in helping train future facilitators to empower those in recovery to live a Life Beyond Addiction.

Join Us to Hear About the Future of SMART Recovery

SMART is just getting started. While we have seen growth from our early days in the mid-1990s, there are many areas where SMART meetings are not yet available. We want to change that.

To grow our support to those living with addictive behaviors, we must:

Grow and strengthen our volunteer base
Develop our organizational culture, structure, and leadership
Strengthen our financial resources
Raise awareness, use, and support for SMART Recovery USA

The SMART Recovery USA Two-Year Strategic Plan 2021-2022 provides the foundation for the growth and progress of the organization throughout the 2021 and 2022 calendar years.

Join us on Monday, April 12 at 1 p.m. ET to hear more about how we intend to put these plans into action.
