Campus Clubs and Organizations for Students

Picture of two women sitting behind a table with information about ASL and cookies, signing Hello in ASL (a wave that looks like a casual military salute).  One woman appears White, with glasses, long brown hair, and a striped sweater.  The other woman appears Asian or White, with long brownish black hair and a black hoodie.

Below are two lists: one is of national organizations that have campus-based chapters, and the other is of campus-based student organizations, clubs, and cultural centers.  None of these are affiliated with DREAM.  Click here to see a list of DREAM chapters and affiliates. 

​If you don't see your organization or student group listed, contact us, but we will not post any groups dedicated to eradicating disability, support groups, or groups where disabled people are treated as a subject of charity or service learning project.  We also will not list any medical groups or support groups that are not peer-based.   

For additional information about disability services and disability resources at U.S. colleges and universities, visit the NCCSD's CEDAR Database, which has disability information for all higher education institutions in the U.S.
