This is a secular event open to high school sophomores that meets June 11-13, 2020, on the St. Cloud State University campus.  If you are looking for some things to add to your "leadership skills" section on college and scholarship applications, this is an excellent opportunity!  Please let Mrs. Sarsland know prior to December 4th if interested.  

"At HOBY, high school sophomores build their leadership potential through an inspiring three- or four-day Leadership Seminar based on three leadership perspectives: Personal, Group, and Societal. As many as 300 “ambassadors” from high schools across the state or country gather at their local HOBY State Leadership Seminar between April and June to:

Experience life on a university campus, where HOBY Leadership Seminars are hosted

Interact with local community leaders—from CEOs to business owners to doctors to media experts—through panels, presentations, and group discussions about real-world issues

Participate in hands-on activities to explore and exercise leadership on personal and group levels

Form diverse relationships with adult professionals, college-age mentors, and high school students from across the state with diverse leadership styles and backgrounds

Conduct a community service project to put leadership-for-service skills into action

Open opportunities for internships, mentorship programs, and other HOBY Ambassadors Connect benefits

After each seminar, HOBY alumni are challenged to complete 100 hours of community service within the next year as a way to put their passion and newly built leadership skills into action."
