Dear Sophomores: This application could be the beginning of a fun and exciting learning experience. Since 1958, HOBY has provided transformative leadership development training to positively impact the lives of thousands of high school students in the US and abroad annually. All 10th graders are eligible and are encouraged to apply!
About HOBY: HOBY has conducted annual seminars since 1958. During the seminars, 10th graders have the opportunity to meet, interact with and question regionally and internationally renowned leaders. HOBY Leadership Seminars are two-to-three-day events held each spring in your state.
HOBY’s purpose is to bring together a select group of high school sophomores who have demonstrated leadership ability so that they can interact with groups of distinguished leaders in business, government, education, and other professions to discuss present and future issues. The informal, question-and-answer format during these seminars meets HOBY’s specific goals:
- To seek out and develop leadership potential in high school sophomores;
- To encourage and assist students in their quest for self-development and self-identification;
- To introduce potential leaders to today’s recognized leaders through informal, give-and-take discussions on a variety of current, critical topics;
- To provide through this exposure the opportunity to explore free enterprise and community service.
