Mission Statement

Santa Clara County Young People in Alcoholics Anonymous (SCCYPAA) has but one primary purpose – to carry its
message to the alcoholic that still suffers. When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, we want the hand of
Alcoholics Anonymous always to be there. And for that: we are responsible. SCCYPAA provides visible evidence
that large numbers of young people are achieving a lasting and comfortable sobriety in Alcoholics Anonymous.
The three legacies of AA -- Recovery, Unity, and Service -- are the backbone of SCCYPAA, just as they are
throughout AA. We unify young people in the Santa Clara area by practicing the principals of A.A through
meetings, events, and outreach. 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 comfortable sobriety.
As the big book of Alcoholics Anonymous states, “We are not a glum lot. We absolutely insist on enjoying life”,
SCCYPAA shows young people that this is the case.
