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

Rating: 5 stars  

I have volunteered for HOBY Colorado since I was a 16 year old kid way back in 2013 and continue to volunteer to change the lives of countless high school students from across Colorado. The Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Seminar is a four day leadership conferences that consists of hundreds of ambassadors from numerous high schools around the state. The seminar works through three phases, individual leadership, group leadership, and societal leadership. The ambassadors attend key note speakers and panel discussions, work through teambuilding and problem solving activities, and complete a service project. Most importantly, they come out with a new family of life long friends and the tools to make positive societal change in their schools, home towns, states, and even nationally or internationally.

HOBY Colorado changed my life when I was just a 16 year old kid trying to navigate the struggles of high school and growing up while trying to find his purpose in the world. HOBY introduced me to a family of leaders who are all motivated to change the world and be positive global citizens. Most importantly, HOBY Colorado taught me how to think not what to think. HOBY Colorado taught me that people won't always remember the things you say or the things you do, but they will remember how you make them feel.
