Description
The Hugh O'Brian Youth (HOBY) Leadership Seminar in Wisconsin is a 3-day seminar for high school sophomores. The seminar is held at Edgwood College in Madison, WI, June 2-4, 2017.
HOBY Leadership Seminars are designed to prepare our country's high school sophomores to become effective, ethical leaders in their home, schools, workplace and community. HOBY uses a unique methodology to develop leaders. Rather than have adults lecture while they take notes, HOBY seminars provide face-to-face interaction between the youth and distinguished leaders in business, industry, education, science, government, media, and other professions.
The Leadership Seminar Program allows high school sophomores to recognize their leadership talents and apply them in becoming effective, ethical leaders in their home, school, workplace and community. Students attend three or four day seminars and participate in hands-on leadership activities, meet leaders in their state, and explore their own personal leadership skills while learning how to make a positive impact in their community. The seminar curriculum is based on the Social Change Model of Leadership and develops leadership from three perspectives: Personal Leadership, Group Leadership, and Leadership for Society.
