Victorian Young People in Alcoholics Anonymous

VicYPAA statement of purpose

VicYPAA stands for Victorian Young People in Alcoholics  Anonymous. Each year since 1995 VicYPAA has hosted an annual convention round-up held in January. The convention round-up is organised by a committee of  enthusiastic young people in AA as a celebration of recovery, unity and  service. We are a group of young members active in service, working for  the benefit of all AA.

VicYPAA is all-inclusive, never exclusive  or forbidding. It is open to all persons concerned with a drinking  problem, irrespective of age. We are an autonomous group funded through  our own fund-raising activities and therefore self-supporting.

Surplus funds created from convention round-ups will be held in  trust by the Advisory Committee and disbursed by the collective group  conscience of the Advisory Committee. VicYPAA has but one primary purpose:  to carry the message to other alcoholics who still suffer.
