MORE THAN ONE WAY

One of the common misconceptions about Young People in Alcoholics Anonymous (YPAA) conventions and committees is that they are separate from AA as a whole, serve only to isolate young members of AA from the general body, and exclude the general body from their events. This couldn't be further from the truth. A large reason that YPAA is in existence is so younger members can see that there are many people their own age who are getting and staying sober in AA.
