The National Hemophilia Foundation (NHF) is dedicated to finding better treatments and cures for bleeding and clotting disorders and to preventing the complications of these disorders through education, advocacy and research. Established in 1948, the National Hemophilia Foundation has 45 chapters throughout the country. Through its national office and chapters, NHF provides support to the bleeding disorders community. NHF’s programs and services include a growing research program focused on finding a cure, bringing bleeding disorders to the forefront of the nation’s health agenda and providing education for all life stages of people living with bleeding disorders.
NHF has recently received funding to expand its life-stages education program, called Steps For Living. This New York City based position will be primarily responsible for creating an on-line, interactive curriculum to educate youth and their parents on healthy behaviors, life-skills and risk prevention initiatives.

- Assist in managing NHF’s National Youth Leadership Institute, a training group for young adults with bleeding disorders ages 18-25
- Collaborate with CDC and other partners on building a bleeding disorder based on-line instructional course as a resource to families and others.
- Foster networks and connections, both peer-to-peer and families with relevant resources for ongoing social and health support.
- Work with others to develop program evaluation and outcomes assessment.
- Publicize and market the value of Steps for Living program and train other NHF and chapter staff to be facilitators and/or ambassadors of the project as needed.
