Review for Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership of Colorado (HOBY Colorado), Lakewood, CO, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I had the opportunity to attend HOBY Colorado as an ambassador my sophomore year of high school back in 2010. This four day seminar focused on leadership had a monumental impact on the way I perceived the world. Coming from a small town in Colorado, there can be a tendency for everyone to think alike, and HOBY introduced me to other people that had differing opinions and values that I did. What I really came away with was an exposure to a world outside of my small community, and it made me want to explore the world and meet the different people out there.

Currently, I just finished my sixth year volunteering with HOBY Colorado in different facilitator and corporate board goals. I love giving my time and effort back to an organization that really transformed me. Working with the students as a facilitator is one of the most rewarding experiences, as I want to help foster and create the transformational experience that I had. Helping support youth leadership is an important task for the next generation of Colorado!
