The aim of young peoples groups is to help newcomers understand that they need not experience years of drinking, loss of family, friends and finances to be ready for sobriety. They help bring the newcomers into the mainstream of A.A. Recovery, Unity and Service through the 12 Steps, the 12 Traditions and the 12 Concepts for World Service by carrying A.A.s message to the suffering alcoholic.

Young peoples groups are in no way separate from Alcoholics Anonymous as a whole. Members are involved in and committed to Twelfth Step work, Hospital and Institution work, Public Information, General Service and every other facet of A.A. Service. Newcomers are shown by people their own age that using A.A. principles in their daily lives and getting involved in A.A. Service can lead to a lasting and comfortable sobriety.
