ABOUT SCCYPAA

---

In 1973, the All California Young People in Alcoholics Anonymous Roundup was established as an annual gathering in California to provide an opportunity for young AA's to come together and share their experience, strength, and hope. ACYPAA is visible evidence that large numbers of people are achieving a lasting and comfortable sobriety in Alcoholics Anonymous. AA's who attend an ACYPAA Roundup return home better prepared to receive young alcoholics who come to AA seeking recovery.

The ACYPAA Roundup is held anywhere in California where young people's groups can demonstrate: 1) the need for an activity like this to stimulate greater involvement and participation by young people in their area; 2) the ability of their group to function responsibly within the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous; and 3) the ability of the group to host a Roundup representative of the diversity of California young people in Alcoholics Anonymous.
