CHYPAA MISSION STATEMENT:
Chicagoland Young People in Alcoholics Anonymous (CHYPAA), is a service committee that strives to create a community of excited and capable young members of A.A. to participate in A.A.’s service structure. We do this by participating in the area service structure, organizing events, encouraging attendance at YPAA conferences, and maintaining a website with YPAA information. All alcoholics are welcome to participate.
