HOBY Minnesota Leadership Seminar

June 13-15, 2025

Each year, HOBY Minnesota brings together high school sophomores from all over the state together for a 3-day leadership seminar.  We bring in these young students not to become leaders, because we believe they are already leaders; instead, we bring these ambassadors together to help them grow in their leadership journey, and find out what type of leader they are.

The seminar is broken up into three phases, each phase based on the Social Change Model of Leadership.

Student ambassadors truly put their service leadership learning into action after the seminar concludes. New HOBY alumni are challenged to complete 100 hours of service to their communities in the year following their seminar. These Leadership for Service (L4S) hours are a tangible way for our new alumni to apply their passion and newly built leadership skills toward making a positive impact. Over 5,000,000 service hours have been logged by HOBY alumni worldwide since 1998, and that number continues to grow with HOBY alumni logging thousands of hours of service each year. As a certifying organization for the Presidential Volunteer Service award, HOBY sites across the world honor hundreds of students each year as they complete their service challenge.
