Join Us as a DASA Volunteer

If you live near St. Louis or Columbia, Missouri, the Disabled Athlete Sports Association needs you as a volunteer! When you become a volunteer, you help DASA carry out its mission to encourage athletes to seek the highest level of independence and become involved, to the fullest extent, with their non-disabled peers and community as a whole. Your assistance at our events and in our athletes’ lives makes their success possible.

Volunteer Opportunities

As a volunteer, you support our athletes in countless ways and help DASA as we provide extraordinary, inclusive year-round fitness and athletic opportunities for children, teenagers, adults, senior citizens, and injured service members and first responders who have primary physical, visual, and hearing disabilities.
