WHAT WILL MY CHILD BE DOING AT HOBY VERMONT?
This year, thousands of high school students will attend HOBY programs. We will present multiple viewpoints on important issues and encourage you to think critically about leadership, in addition to identifying your own particular leadership strengths. The youth participants, referred to as “HOBY Ambassadors,” will enjoy experiential learning in the forms of:
Inspiration from keynote speakers
Interaction with community leaders from education, government, business, media and the non-profit sector
Participation in community service projects that impact the lives of those in need
Leadership games and activities helping you to develop skills in organization, communication, problem solving and goal setting
Lasting bonds with other HOBY participants based on shared values, goals and experiences
And FUN!!!
