HOBY New York Metro
Teaching students how to think, not what to think, since 1958.
About Us
Each year, HOBY New York-Metro welcomes students from across the region to a weekend leadership seminar. At HOBY, we believe all students have the potential to lead. Our seminars bring students together across different backgrounds, cultures, and communities. We help students discover a newfound sense of awareness, confidence, connection, and purpose.
Our seminars are proven to cultivate personal growth and inspire action. Students leave HOBY with the knowledge and passion needed to make a positive impact on the world around them. Being a part of the HOBY community unlocks a world of opportunities and connections beyond our seminars.
Volunteer
Volunteerism isn’t just one of our values–it’s the core of who we are as an organization. The people-power and the magic of HOBY is all made possible by our thousands of volunteers. HOBY volunteers deliver programs, unmask potential, educate those around them, seek first to understand, and prioritize connection and care. HOBY volunteers make HOBY possible. Join this outstanding community, today!
Each spring/summer, HOBY New York-Metro puts on a 3-day leadership seminar with the support and hard work of HOBY volunteers. While many volunteers are also HOBY Alumni, new volunteers are more than welcome! Volunteering with us can look like:
- Working directly with students as a facilitator
- Delivering the HOBY curriculum for local impact as a member of the program team
- Operationalizing a weekend of speakers and activities as part of the operations team
- Recruiting schools and students to participate
- Supporting your local seminar with fundraising
- Providing guidance by serving on a local corporate board
- Engaging and supporting Alumni in their life with HOBY
