The Greek Orthodox Youth of America (GOYA) is the ministry to teenagers of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. Since GOYA is ministry, the orientation and implementation of the program should reflect the Orthodox Christian Faith, Tradition, and Life.

GOYA is ministry to junior high and high school grade Orthodox Christian teenagers. Teenagers should be in 7th through 12th grades to participate. It is recommended that GOYA ministry be divided into two distinct groups: the junior high GOYA ministry and the high school GOYA ministry.
