HOBY State Leadership Seminar
from the Counselor's Office
Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Seminar
It is time for 10th grade students who are interested in attending the HOBY Leadership Seminar to apply!
What is HOBY? It is a 4-day, 3-night leadership seminar taking place June 7-10, 2018, at Arkansas Tech University in Russellville. Only one or two St. Joseph 10th grade students will be chosen to attend, so there is an application process. If chosen to represent St. Joseph at HOBY, student(s) must attend all four days of the seminar.
Interested students may attend an information meeting on Friday and pick up an application. All applications are due October 20.
I encourage any interested sophomore to apply. This is a wonderful leadership program that is nationally recognized. The students who attend will meet other sophomores from all over Arkansas. The students who have attended in the past have returned to St. Joseph excited about what they learned, and many of them have worked on extra service projects so that they could return to HOBY their junior year to serve in the role of junior counselors at the seminar.
Thank you,
Mrs. Breeding

More Information about Arkansas HOBY Youth Leadership
The HOBY Mission:
Our mission is to seek out, recognize and develop leadership potential commencing with high school sophomores.
The History of HOBY:
The Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) was founded by Hugh O'Brian in 1958. That year, Mr. O'Brian had the unique opportunity to spend nine inspirational days with the great humanitarian, Dr. Albert Schweitzer at his clinic in Africa. There, Dr. Schweitzer impressed upon him that "the most important thing in education is to teach young people to think for themselves." That thought became the cornerstone for the Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership, which Mr. O'Brian founded two weeks after his return to Los Angeles. Since then, HOBY has carried out its mission "to seek out, recognize and develop leadership potential commencing with high school sophomores, and to encourage and prepare the next generation of civic and corporate leadership for America's future." HOBY implements its purpose in three ways: by providing interactive opportunities for critical thinking; by promoting democracy and America's incentive system; and by encouraging social responsibility among individuals and participating corporations. Generous gifts from our constituents, combined with the active support of more than 5,200 volunteers, provide the backbone of support necessary to deliver HOBY's programs. This is the base of support which will sustain the organization for many years to come.
