Pancretan Youth of America (PYA)
In 1948, a movement began to organize Cretan Youth chapters across the country. A second revival of youth chapters began in 1970 and the Pancretan Youth Association (PYA) was established in 1971. While the PYA has its own constitutions and by-laws, they also support the mission and goals of the PAA.
