Are you a young person with hemophilia who wants
to make a positive difference in your community while
building your professional and social skills?
Step Up Reach Out, a new, international youth leadership program, is a unique resource that can help you reach that goal.
Step Up Reach Out will draw
together young men from around
the world for learning, personal
growth and collaboration. This program
consists of two conference
sessions focused on leadership
training, activities, and individual
and group projects. The program
will help participants build self-esteem,
develop concrete thinking
abilities and make decisions that
reflect true leadership qualities.
Attending Step Up Reach Out will
help you and your peers from other
countries gain insight into the
structure of the global hemophilia
community and how you can
emerge as its future leaders.
Background
You have hemophilia...
You know the challenges you and your family face and the kind of future you want to see. Who speaks for you and the thousands of others like you in the world? Who steps forward and advocates for your community? The answer: Strong, skilled leaders who for many years have made sure that companies, governments and health care providers understand and respond to the needs of people with hemophilia.
Step Up Reach Out was created to prepare young men like you to be the next
generation of leaders that helps ensure your community’s quality of life. If you are
selected, we’ll give you the skills, teach you the strategies, coach you on how to take
the lead when things need to get done. We’ll cover the science and technology, the
politics and finances that influence your world. Our international format ensures that
you’ll learn even more by working alongside young men from other countries.
Step Up Reach Out was designed by experts at the University of Texas Health
Science Center, Gulf States Hemophilia and Thrombophilia Center (UTHS) to nurture
a new generation of leaders for the hemophilia community. The program is administered
by the Lone Star Chapter of the National Hemophilia Foundation.
