Generation IX Program (Aptevo Theraputics)
The Generation IX Experience launched in 2014 as the first national mentorship program for young people living with hemophilia B. Young adult mentors will participate in a cutting edge leadership training before guiding teens through a powerful week full of challenges and fun in a stately camp facility outside of Portland, Oregon.
TEENS Ages 14-17
The Generation IX Project was designed for you. You’re looking for the next adventure, the next challenge. You’re craving an experience beyond the classroom and the routine. There are others like you, teens and young adults that will band together to learn how to do more, learn more, experience more, and be more than they thought possible. This is your chance to do something profoundly different from the everyday.
MENTORS 18-35
The Generation IX Project cannot happen without you. This is your opportunity to escape the norms of the everyday, and pursue a challenge that will change the face of leadership in the hemophilia B community. The Generation IX Project is a call to action for young adults that live with hemophilia B who want to put their skills to the test in an immersive mentorship program. You will travel to a camp facility tucked into a temperate rainforest just outside of Portland, Oregon. There, you will meet your Instructor Team, a group of leadership and team building professionals with years of experience in the outdoor education field and the bleeding disorder
community. They will guide you through several days of experiential training in interpersonal skill development, finding your personal leadership style, and group dynamics as you learn and live with a group of other motivated mentors. This is all preparation for when you help deliver a challenging and meaningful residential program for a group of teens.
