Are you interested in learning how to inform youth about their rights, give peer-support and training, and to change systems to include youth voices? If you answered “YES” to these questions, Kids As Self Advocates (KASA) wants YOU!
National Kids As Self Advocates [KASA] has positions opening up on the Advisory Board and the Task Force. As a youth-led project National KASA offers opportunities to learn how a project can be led by young people with disabilities and to learn new skills, like how to have a say in what affects you!
The KASA Advisory Board and Task Force are two different kinds of leadership groups.
- The National KASA Board plans activities, works on projects and makes decisions about the national KASA project. They are responsible for the KASA project.
- The National KASA Task Force will give advice and opinions to the KASA Advisory Board and staff about what information and training youth with disabilities need, work on group projects and has lots of opportunities to learn.
To learn more about the National KASA Advisory Board or our National Task Force, what they each do and how to apply, visit KASA at: www.fvkasa.org for more information.
National Kids As Self Advocates (KASA) is created by youth with disabilities for youth to educate society about issues concerning us. KASA believes in self-determination, creating support networks and self-advocacy for all youth with disabilities in our society.
