YOUNG ADULT SELF-ADVOCACY The Arc's Young Adult Self-Advocacy (YASA) group helps young adults with developmental disabili es become strong self-advocates. Self- advocates are people with disabili es who speak up for themselves and others. They can express themselves with spoken words, sign language, language boards and in other ways unique to themselves. Self-advocacy enables people with disabili es to live a fulfilling life in the community with the support they need. Are you between 16 and 30? Are you an eligible client of the Developmental Disabili es Administra on? If you answered yes to both ques ons, then you are welcome to join! We will play games and get to know each other. We will learn about helping others and helping ourselves. You need not have any special skills to join the group. All mee ngs are free! To sign up, call The Arc of Whatcom County at (360) 715-0170 ext. 304 or email Jessika Houston at jessikah@arcwhatcom.org.
