Ages 13-18
The Greek Orthodox Youth of America is for all the young people of our church in grades 7 through 12. After the business portion of the meeting, the clergy leads an “activity” which can take the form of a Bible Study, discussion group, video or audio tape and discussion, skits or many other forms. Throughout the year, our GOYA conducts fund raisers which help defray the cost of their outings to various events, ballgames and theme parks. The teens participate in a number of “Conference” events with GOYAN’s from our neighboring parishes. These activities include: sports tournaments, a Lenten Retreat, and numerous GOYA Dances hosted by one of the parishes.
