NJ Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership

HOBY's purpose is to teach how to think, not what to think. Our leadership seminar provides an opportunity for New Jersey's high school sophomores to recognize their potential talents and apply them in becoming effective, ethical leaders of the future. The high level of energy, encouragement and motivation as well as the interaction with peers, panelists and volunteer staff are important elements in nurturing the students' future leadership roles. Each September, every accredited public and private high school in New Jersey is invited to select and send an outstanding sophomore as its representative based on demonstrated leadership potential. The volunteers who plan, organize and run this three-day seminar also raise the funds to pay for all program expenses.

Please join me in helping NJ HOBY reach their 2015 fundraising goal to continue to provide such a wonderful forum for today's young leaders.
