HOBY allowed me to get out of my shell. I highly recommend for anyone. It also allowed me to become an eager volunteer and leader!

At first I was nervous of going and once I got there I made new friends. They are like my family and everyone is kind.

HOBY has been life changing for me. Before HOBY, I was extremely shy and was terrible at socializing. Because of HOBY, I am more confident. Because of HOBY, I have a family that never stops supporting and encouraging me. This year I came back to volunteer and it was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. It was beautiful to see the new ambassadors grow and find themselves. HOBY has given me so much and is such a beautiful organization. HOBY is outstanding in every way possible!!

Attending HOBY really changed my life. Besides meeting new friends it helped me see life in a different way, in a more positive way. To be honest, this seminar exceeded my expectations. Now I'm looking forward to share this to my school and make it a better place.

HOBY changed the way I view life in such a short amount of time. Everyone at HOBY was nothing less than extraordinary. I learned how to be a great leader and be kind to others. HOBY is a great place for students to come together and learn how to be a leader as well. HOBY was by far the best leadership seminar I have attended.

I have gone through HOBY as an ambassador and a second time as staff, and my role was Spirit leader. After going through Hoby once I didnt think it could change me more and yet it did!! My life has been changed by HOBY in so many ways! I met so many amazing individuals and i learned so many amazing lessons. I also made unforgettable memories that I will cherish for a lifetime ! HOBY IS OUTSTANDING

HOBY was really a big life changer for me. It not only introduced me to so many wonderful people but it helped me realize what leader I can be and how I can bring a positive impact to the people around me. HOBY really brought me together to people I would have never even knew if it wasn’t for this Seminar. I thank god and the people who allowed me to attend this place, it really changed my life in a positive way.

HOBY is by far one of the best, life changing, and emotional experiences that I have ever endured. When first starting the program I was told that it would change my life and that I would leave as a newly changed and positive leader. Of course I didn’t believe this, but on the first day I was able to learn so much! Not only was I able to learn about others and their experiences, I was also able to Truly find myself and truly get in touch with the better version of myself. All of the team building exercises and leadership trainings have allowed me to use those in my day to day life. I am currently working on promoting my High School Band to start using these exercises in order to bring my band together and truly create a more positive, efficienct and overall amazing Band. Without the HOBY experience, I don’t believe that I would be the amazing leader that I am today, and I thank HOBY for that

Going through Hoby In 2016 was definitely a life changing experience! Before I went through Hoby I was a shy, reservered person who didn’t really want to go out and make friends. For those who think Hoby will be a waste of time after the weekend they will have a whole new perspective! Thank you to everyone who has helped me over the years within Hoby and I will be with Hoby for the rest of my life!

I came up here being skeptical thinking that it was going to be like any other leadership program where we sit down and get information go home but no I was wrong it was truly life-changing and I wish I could go back and stay there for longer than it was I learned a lot I made new friends who became family and overall I had fun so thank you for letting this be part of my life and for this being a thing that I could attend because it was truly a great experience.
