Why
Should YOU Join KASA?
There are
many benefits to being part of a national network of youth/young adults
with disabilities and our allies.
Your

meaningful ways in our youth-driven, grass-roots project.
Here are
just a few of the things our members get as being part of KASA—and
membership is FREE for youth.

Our network features youth and young adult leaders as resource experts
on living in the community, managing our health care, going to school,
advocacy, civil rights, getting a job and much more.
