HOBY Selection Process
Each September, HOBY Sophomore Selection Packets are sent to 22,000
public, private and charter high schools in the United States. All tenth graders
are eligible for selection to attend one of the three- or four-day weekend
seminars held in their area each spring. A sophomore leader may be selected
by each school and is certified by the principal.
HOBY’s seminars focus on the theme “Motivating Tomorrow’s Leaders
Today” while encouraging the young leaders toward responsible citizenship,
including community service and volunteerism.
“HOBY Team,
Just wanted to drop you guys a note from a proud parent who was blown
away Saturday at how great the HOBY experience was. My daughter …was in
one of the orange groups. Everyone in their group had such a great time they
[joined the HOBY] Facebook group and have been keeping in contact. They
are now planning to do a CLeW together in the near future. They are on fire!!!
My wife and I were blown away at the quality of people involved with HOBY
and we just wanted to relay that to you fine folks...Thanks for all you efforts in
putting this fine event on for these great kids.
Thanks again for everything and making a mark in our daughter’s life.
She left HOBY truly feeling the sky is the limit.
You guys are O-U-T-S-T-A-N-D-I-N-G!!!!!”
