Leadership Opportunity for Sophomores

Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership

Empower ~ Lead ~ Excell

Leaders are not simply born.  They're chosen, nurtured, and developed.

HOBY's flagship program, the State Leadership Seminar, is designed to empower high school sophomores to recognize their leadership talents and apply them to become effective, ethical leaders in their home, school, and community.  Your high school's selected student attends our three- or four-day seminar to participate in hands-on leadership activities, meet leaders in your state, and explore personal leadership skills, while learning how to lead others and make a positive impact in the community.  

Every spring, nearly 10,000 high school sophomores from across the country are chosen to represent their high schools in HOBY State Leadership Seminars.  Your student will have a life-changing experience and develop leadership skills which will serve him/her long into the future!

Register at www.hoby.org or call 818-851-3980x400.  Log in to see your seminar date, location, and registration fee.

Guaranteed Acceptance date of DECEMBER 5, 2014.  (Registrations submitted after this date are accepted on a space-available basis.)

If you are interested in being considered for this leadership experience, please stop by the Student Services Office to pick up more information.

• outstanding oral and/or written communication skills
• critical and/or creative thinking
