VicYPAA Statement of Purpose

VicYPAA stands for Victorian Young People in Alcoholics  Anonymous. Each January since 1995 VicYPAA has hosted an annual convention and round-up held in Melbourne. The convention is organised by a committee of enthusiastic members of AA who each have less than 10 years sobriety and is designed to be a celebration of recovery, unity and  service.

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