What Is It?

HOBY staff, alumni, and volunteers are casting our spells to create a bewitching HOBY

Magic Maker event in Los Angeles! Ten HOBY students (Magic Makers) from around the

U.S. will participate in fast pitch presentations, responding to the prompt, "What is

YOUR Big Idea?" These students are the “magic” that HOBY programs help develop -

the next generation of civically-conscious, compassionate, and entrepreneurial leaders.

The winner will receive a scholarship!

REGIONAL SPONSORSHIPS

Pleasant Proffers will conduct monthly

giving projects, such as collecting

donations for children's' hospitals. Along

with giving projects, we sell "Apparel

with a Purpose," which raises funds and

spreads positivity, love, and kindness in

the world.

My idea is to partner with hospitals to

install movie theaters so that patients

may enjoy theatrical cinema

experiences, which could help patients

escape reality for a few hours and be

rejuvenated to keep fighting through

their ailments.

Through HOBO (Helping Others Build

Opportunities), students collect donations,

spend time at homeless shelters, and help

homeless individuals build opportunities to

thrive by bridging the gap between

qualified labor and vetted service

opportunities.

My idea is "Common Cents", an app that

turns you into a nonstop philanthropist. The

app links to your bank account and allows

you to automatically donate a set amount

of money (even as small as five cents per

purchase) when you use your credit or

debit card.

One For the Team collects, organizes,

cleans, delivers, and donates used

sporting equipment. It began in the Los

Angeles area and has expanded as far

as the Casa Victoria Orphanage in

Quito, Ecuador.

H.A.P.P.Y. (Heroin Addiction Prevents

People's Years) educates schools about

heroin addiction by bringing in recovering

addicts to speak about their experiences

and resolve to face their addictions.

The HOBY seminar taught me to be an innovative servant leader, to be a

compassionate individual serving members of my community, and to teach young

leaders the importance of meaningful, impactful service.”

Vishnu Nistala (Ohio North, 2014) followed his passion for service and leadership

by establishing a technology tutoring program for 1500+ senior citizens. At the Fairport Senior Center, he has devoted over 500 hours teaching senior citizens to better understand and use technology to stay connected with their families, pay bills online, submit claims through the Social Security Administration, and more.

“MY HOBY LEADERSHIP SEMINAR TAUGHT ME THAT I HAVE POTENTIAL; HOBY WLC TAUGHT ME THAT I HAVE A PLACE IN THE WORLD; AND HOBY ALA TAUGHT ME HOW TO USE MY POTENTIAL TO CHANGE THE WORLD.”

Robert Baurley, PA-E ’12, WLC ’12, ALA Fall ’13

HOBY’s mission is to inspire and

develop our global community of youth and volunteers to a

life dedicated to leadership, service,

and innovation.

Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) has worked diligently at helping young people make a difference and become positive catalysts for change – in the home, school, workplace, and community. As the nation’s premier nonprofit youth leadership development organization, HOBY is respected worldwide.

Beginnings in an African Jungle

In the summer of 1958, actor Hugh O’Brian received the invitation that would change his life.

O’Brian, then 33, was in Winnipeg, Manitoba, parlaying his fame as television’s legendary Wyatt Earp into extra income by guest-starring in a rodeo.

Then the cable arrived from French Equatorial Africa: renowned humanitarian and 1952 Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Albert Schweitzer would welcome him at any

time.

O’Brian had long admired the German doctor-missionary-theologian-musician. “I’d read so much about him,” he reflects. “He was a great humanitarian who could have done anything he wanted in the world, and there he was in the middle of Africa taking care of people.”

Within two weeks he was on his way, by commercial airliner, bush plane and canoe, to the famed hospital that Schweitzer had founded in 1913 on the banks of the Ogooue River in Lambarene.

The actor spent nine days at the clinic complex where Schweitzer and volunteer doctors and nurses, working without electricity or running water, cared for patients, including many with leprosy.

The doctor was impressed that the young American had taken the trouble to visit him. He shared stories and life lessons with O’Brian each evening. Schweitzer, then 83, was concerned about global peace prospects and was convinced that the United States should take a leadership role in achieving peace. He impressed upon the young O’Brian the urgency for change and how education must teach young people to think for themselves.

It was an unforgettable nine days. And, as O’Brian departed, Schweitzer took his hand, looked deep into his eyes, and asked, “Hugh, what are you going to do with this?”

Two weeks after returning from his 1958 meeting with Schweitzer, O’Brian put together a prototype seminar for young leaders - HOBY. And the rest is living history.

By the Numbers

Twenty-six student Ambassadors participated in the very first HOBY leadership seminar. Now, more than five decades later, there are more than 435,000 Alumni that

are part of the HOBY legacy.

Each year, more than 12,000 students attend HOBY Leadership programs from across the U.S. and around the world.

Our Ambassadors represent more than 7,200 U.S. high schools.

There are approximately 70 State Leadership Seminars each spring across the country.

More than 4,000 committed HOBY volunteers plan, fundraise, and help to produce the programs each year. 65% of volunteers are HOBY Alumni.

HOBY’s total paid staff is 13 full-time equivalents.

Since inception, HOBY Alumni have logged more than 3 million hours of service.

Through the Years

1958 - 1967: Leadership Seminars took place annually in Los Angeles for sophomores throughout California.

1968: The scope of the HOBY program grew to include national and international participants, which led to the expanded week-long international leadership seminar, now called the World Leadership Congress (WLC). The

WLC is held annually in different major cities across the United States.

1977: In an effort to include more students nationwide, three- and four-day State Leadership Seminars (LS) were instituted, with Delaware, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island being the first to conduct HOBY Leadership Seminars.

1982: Within five short years, State Leadership Seminars were being conducted annually in all 50 United States with the help of many partner civic organizations.

1991: HOBY extended its reached and started a one-day leadership program called Community Leadership Workshops (CLeWs). These workshops, now held for high school freshmen, allow schools to select many students to participate.

1997: To secure its commitment to local communities, HOBY began Leadership for Service (L4S), which challenged HOBY Ambassadors to volunteer a minimum of 100 hours in their community.

2011: HOBY went global and revitalized its International Tours program, which allowed HOBY Alumni to visit and experience the cultures of other countries.

2013: The Advanced Leadership Academy (ALA), a five-day program, was created to provide high school juniors and seniors with an extended HOBY experience.
