HOBY Oregon

Mission To inspire and develop our global community of youth and volunteers to a life dedicated to leadership, service and innovation. Company Overview Founded in 1958, HOBY’s mission is to provide lifelong leadership development opportunities that empower individuals to achieve their highest potential. HOBY programs are conducted annually throughout the United States, serving local and international high school students. HOBY programs provide youth selected by their schools to participate in unique leadership training, service-learning and motivation-building experiences. HOBY also provides adults with opportunities to make a significant impact on the lives of youth by volunteering. Over 4,000 committed HOBY volunteers plan and execute the programs each year, serving both at the local HOBY affiliate level and on HOBY’s Board of Trustees. Due to the selfless efforts of volunteers and the contributions of generous donors, nearly 9,000 students participate in HOBY programs annually. Over the last 25 years HOBY Oregon has empowered 3,500 high school sophomores to be leaders in their communities, state, and nation! These students are truly impressive and return to talk about their life changing experiences at HOBY and lifelong friends they made with other students around the state.
