What We Do
Leadership Seminars:
Each year, HOBY invites the principals of all high schools to select their single most outstanding sophomore to attend the state Leadership Seminar. From the panhandle to the city, outstanding leaders from the entire state of Nebraska join together for a leadership seminar.
The program includes stimulating panel discussions on the topics of education, media, volunteerism, entrepreneurship, government, diversity, and more. HOBY seminars are designed to enhance students' leadership, critical thinking, and ethical decision-making abilities, and to provide the skills needed to be of service to others.
Leadership for Service:
During the leadership seminar, the HOBY Ambassadors complete a community service project together. At the completion of each seminar, each student pledges to complete 100 more hours of their own time contributing to their local communities.
World Leadership Congress:
At each seminar across the country, students are selected be seminar volunteers to attend HOBY's World Leadership Conference (WLC). At the WLC, these young leaders are joined by outstanding high school sophomores from around the world for an eight-day program.
