Mission Statement

To inspire and develop our global community of youth and volunteers to a life dedicated to leadership, service and innovation.

Description

HOBY Wyoming's signature program is an annual Leadership Seminar which provides a premiere leadership experience for 40-50 of the most outstanding youth from across the state. 100% of the planning and operation for our seminar is completed by committed volunteers, and we are currently looking for individuals to serve in key leadership roles or to assist others in small ways that make a big difference! The 2012 seminar is scheduled for June 7-10, and will be hosted on the Laramie Community College campus in Cheyenne. About the Program: Students with outstanding leadership potential are selected to attend the HOBY Seminar by their high school counselor or principal. At the Seminar students engage in an intense learning environment which will allow them to interact with our state's leaders and explore multiple forms and styles of leadership. HOBY's dynamic, hands-on educational approach develops participants' critical thinking, team-building, and goal-setting skills. A hallmark of our program is a leadership for service challenge which encourages students to complete a minimum of 100 hours of volunteer service in their communities over the year following the seminar. Many of our students ambitiously exceed this goal, which fosters a commitment to use their leadership skills in service to others.
