About Us

The Take Steps Youth Leadership Committee is a group of high school students living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) that are passionate about making a difference. Through leadership, advocacy, and community building, we strive to support others with Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis while raising awareness and driving change.

Our mission is to empower young leaders to create a strong and supportive community for those affected by IBD. Through advocacy, education, and fundraising, we work to raise awareness, foster connections, and inspire action. By leading with empathy and determination, we strive to build a united community.

Our goal is to develop the next generation of passionate advocates who will continue to raise awareness, support research, and strengthen the IBD community. Through leadership opportunities and collaborative efforts, we aim to create lasting change and improve the lives of those impacted by Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis.
