Join our community today AND realize your full potential
Much of the work at HOBY involves young people exploring and identifying their unique leadership skills. Every student is different, and there is no attempt to impart a predefined set of attributes onto HOBY participants. We stress self-knowledge, uniqueness, and authenticity, not conformity.
High school sophomores can apply to attend the seminar and we have a variety of volunteering opportunities for people of all ages. We are always looking for new individuals who want to help make an impact in their community.
