Clearwater YAL was founded in 1991. Our mission is to promote the four keys of YAL; worship, witness, service and fellowship. We worship by staying active in the Greek Orthodox environment. We witness by outreaching to the community. We serve those who are in need. We have fellowship by organizing events that welcome everyone.We host an annual Memorial Day Convention. This event has been going strong for 17 years, with more people attending every year.
"The Clearwater YAL is the heart and soul of the effort to provide an opportunity for an increasing number of Greek-American young adults a long weekend of fun and relaxation and a chance to catch up with old friends and make new ones. The outgoing nature of the convention staff is contagious and inspiring. It’s what leads to people from all over the country to introduce themselves to each other in the lobby, at the pool, and even on the bus rides to the concert and dinner dance. It’s this group of young adults who care about sacrificing their weekend for the sake of the rest of us that makes up for any change of venue, any event that didn’t turn out the way it was planned, or any other disappointment that one might have faced.We hope that everyone had a great time at last year’s Convention and that we see you again this year back in Clearwater. Again, there is no place else we and tons of other Greeks would have rather have been on Memorial Day Weekend"
