STATE LEADERSHIP SEMINARS
At HOBY, high school sophomores explore their leadership potential through our inspiring leadership development programs. State Leadership Seminars are three-to-four day residential programs, typically held on a college or university campus.
Regardless of format, HOBY Leadership Seminars are highly interactive programs, following our leadership development curriculum which allows students to discover leadership from a personal, group and socially responsible perspective.
Student “Ambassadors” from across their state participate in State Leadership Seminars between April and June each year, building a network of positive community change-makers and a wider network of HOBY Alumni.
After each seminar, HOBY alumni are challenged to complete 100 hours of community service within the next year as a way to put their passion and newly built leadership skills into action.

HAVE QUESTIONS?
If you have any questions or would like more information regarding State Leadership Seminars or any of HOBY’s programs, feel free to let us know, we look forward to hearing from you.
