MCYPAA Digital Archives

Enjoy a journey though the memories and history of the convention

A Brief Convention History

MCYPAA 1 was held in Ann Arbor in 1979, marking the beginning of one of the nation's longest-standing YPAA (Young People of AA) conventions, proudly hosted by Michigan. Over its 44-year history, MCYPAA has taken place in 13 distinct locations across the state, with a new venue selected annually. Both Lansing and Grand Rapids have had the honor of hosting the convention on seven occasions each.

We cherish the memories, joy, and hope that these archives evoke and trust that you will appreciate them as well!
