About NEWYPAA

New South Wales Young People in Alcoholics Anonymous (NEWYPAA) was formed with the purpose of providing a setting for celebration of recovery among young people in AA to ensure AA’s future.

NEWYPAA provides visible evidence that large numbers of young people are achieving a lasting sobriety and living lives full of fun, freedom and service in Alcoholics Anonymous.

We are not a glum lot! AA members of all ages who attend NEWYPAA events return home better prepared to receive young people who come to AA looking for a better way of life.

The NEWYPAA Committee hosts an annual conference as well as other social gatherings and activities. The Committee is a group of AA members passionate about providing fellowship and hope for young people in AA.

Newcomers are shown, by people their own age, that using AA principles in their daily lives and getting involved in AA service can have a significant impact on a lasting and fun sobriety.
