This pocket guide was developed as a result of direct feedback to our KASA Youth as Leaders manual; A "How-To" Manual on including youth as leaders in your organization, agency or project. Projects and agencies using this manual to include youth in their leadership bodies requested a companion guide for youth. So if you are using the KASA Youth as Leaders manual, this pocket guide is for you!

“In looking over several different materials to train our youth board members, the KASA pocket guide was by far the most useful.” Julia Fonseca, Executive Director of the Kansas Youth Empowerment Academy
