Who We Are
Leaders Built Here
HOBY’s flagship program, the annual Leadership Seminar is designed for high school sophomores to recognize their leadership talents in becoming effective, ethical leaders in their homes, schools, and communities. The four day seminar takes place each summer. In 2023 it will be held at Susquehanna University, where 200+ students students from throughout Central PA gather to experience hands on service projects, a full day model legislature, and interactive presentations from community and business leaders.
