Our Curriculum

The curriculum for this leadership seminar is based on HOBY’s vision to motivate and empower individuals to make a positive difference within our global society. HOBY believes students represent the future leaders of the world – that they are the catalysts who will make a difference. By developing and understanding effective and compassionate leadership skills, we guide our students toward realizing their potential and taking action in their own homes, schools, workplaces, communities, and the world.

We develop leadership from three perspectives:

Our Core Values

Volunteerism is the heart and soul of our organization. We appreciate the myriad contributions of our volunteers and recognize the power of thank yous and of giving back. We seek to promote and encourage service among our stakeholders. We recognize and value the positive accomplishments that volunteers can achieve by working together. We believe that volunteers are positively impacted by our programs as much as the youth and communities we serve.
Excellence is the level that our program and business strives for. We encourage entrepreneurship and innovation in business, education, and social responsibility. We develop creative solutions to address challenges and to utilize opportunities. We believe that leadership skills can and should be continually improved and refined.
Integrity forms the foundation of our organization. We demand the highest level of ethics. We grow our organization based on interactions that promote mutual trust and respect with our stakeholders and partners. We strive to ensure the highest level
of organizational effectiveness by continually reviewing our programs and processes to improve quality and efficiency.
Community partnerships are what strengthen us. We recognize the importance of working with community organizations to strengthen our supportive network. We value the input we receive from our community partners and strive to work together cooperatively and constructively for the betterment of all.
Diversity is what we embrace. We seek out views that reflect all walks of life and reflect those views in our programs. We are sensitive to the special needs and diverse backgrounds of individuals. We give all individuals an equal opportunity to be heard and to benefit from our programs.
