Y-GOA Youth Committee


The Youth Goan Overseas Association is a subcommittee established by the GOA Vancouver. Our mission is to connect, support, and inspire Goan youth in Vancouver. We organize events year-round some of which in the past have included visits to the Downtown east side, camping trips, picnics, sporting events and various other youth get-togethers.

Our committee, in keeping with our theme, lends to a subtly informal environment as we try to mix work and play wherever possible so you may be surprised to know that we havn't officially come up with titles for any of our 7 committee members. We all work together putting in our bit and share responsibility.

Feel free to approach any of our friendly committee members, you can also tune into our upcoming events at Y-GOA, our group on facebook, or our group email: yvrgoayouth@gmail.com

2010 Y-GOA Committee Members:


November 26, 2009

After formally organizing one year ago, the Y-GOA Youth committee has seen great success throughout the year at our events where youth have been able to make many friends.

Our goal is to help youth meet new people while contributing the succession of the GOA organization. From picnics in the park to bowling to hiking, we try to diversify our event offerings to cater to a growing group.

We would like to thank all those within and outside the committee for our success and hope that support continues in the future.

We have a few more events scheduled for the remainder of the year and ask that you make an effort to come out because you will have a good time, guaranteed. For more information on events, contact one of the committee members and check out our Facebook group, Y-GOA.
