WV Leadership Seminar

​

At HOBY, We believe the most valuable resource communities can invest in is their youth. We provide students with an amazing opportunity to learn how to lead and make a difference in the world. We teach young leaders "how to think, not what to think" - creatively, critically, and compassionately.

Testimonial

​

"When it finally came time for me to introduce Leon, I looked at the nearly two hundred other ambassadors, and I realized something: what they all had in common. The people I knew before and the ones I’d just met alike, they were all powerful, all passionate, and all capable of influencing change. And I was blessed to be included among them. The West Virginia HOBY seminar was the first chapter in my HOBY story and my first step to causing change. Without West Virginia HOBY I’d never be who I am today.

So what does HOBY mean to me? It’s my family. It’s my voice. It’s my home. It’s my safe haven. It’s my friend. HOBY is my opportunity to change the world, and for that I am forever grateful. I am Shade White, and I live HOBY."
