Advisory
 

MSCYPAA Advisory Preamble
The Massachusetts State Conference of Young People in Alcoholics Anonymous (MSCYPAA) was first established in 1985 with the purpose of furthering the principles of service, recovery, and unity among young people in Alcoholics Anonymous. The same year an Advisory committee was established for the continuation of a young people’s conference in Massachusetts that would carry the message to all those suffering from alcoholism, as well as provide an opportunity for young AA members from all over Massachusetts to join in sharing and experiencing recovery, unity, and service.  

Since our reformation in 2011 we of the Advisory Council have set to establish and preserve MSCYPAA through the thirty-six principles of Alcoholics Anonymous and our shared experience. As our predecessors, we too think it beneficial to establish a custodian to preserve the efforts and experience, lest they be lost. We believe in the shared experience of MSCYPAA service committees and the continuation and growth of service throughout Massachusetts.  Being cognizant that not all young people find our conference or meetings necessary, we do not propose to be a universal answer or governing body for young people. We believe it is beneficial to share our experience with all who request our help. We shall offer information and experience regarding young people's committees and young people's home groups referencing the twelve steps, traditions and concepts of AA's shared experience.
