TRICYPAA is a service committee within Alcoholics Anonymous that seeks to carry the message of A.A. to the young and young at heart. We represent the San Gabriel Valley and Inland Empire Areas. Our members are involved in and committed to Twelfth Step work, Hospital and Institution work, Public Information, General Service, and every other facet of AA Service.

We start young people's A.A. meetings where needed, and support existing young people's A.A. meetings. TRICYPAA hosts various sober functions, such as dances, marathon meetings, cosmic bowling, and picnics. Our hope is that newcomers will find a new way of life through meeting other young alcoholics, hearing the message of recovery, and realizing that sobriety can be fun. Newcomers are shown by people their own age that using AA principles in their daily lives and getting involved in AA Service can lead to a lasting and comfortable sobriety.

TRICYPAA was formed in May of 2004 by a group of young people in A.A. that wanted to be of service by reaching out to other young alcoholics. We are organized under the 5th and 9th Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous. TRICYPAA adheres to the principles of A.A, the 12 Traditions of A.A., and the 12 Concepts for World Service. TRICYPAA is in no way separate from Alcoholics Anonymous as a whole. It is an addition to the existing services of Alcoholics Anonymous.
