HOBY
Goodwin Tech joins with hundreds of high schools across the country in participating in the HOBY. This international organization focuses on high school sophomores to promote leadership skills and networking.

Each year, Goodwin Tech reviews faculty and staff selected sophomore nominees to choose a HOBY Ambassador and an alternate. All nominees possess superior leadership potential. The Ambassador qualifies for a three day series of workshops with business and industry leaders networking with students from across the state. It is a fabulous opportunity.

About HOBY:
HOBY's vision is "To motivate and empower individuals to make a positive difference within our global society through understanding and action, based on effective and compassionate leadership." HOBY's success is the direct result of its 4,000 national volunteers who plan and execute its programs - Leadership Seminars, World Leadership Congress, Alumni Activities and Community Leadership Workshops.

All across the country, volunteers, schools, students and alumni have caught the HOBY spirit. Thousands of men and women have participated or volunteered in Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) programs, making it America's premier youth leadership development program.

Started in 1958 by legendary actor Hugh O'Brian, the HOBY program nationally reaches out to every public and private high school, and internationally there are HOBY-style programs in Argentina, Bolivia, Canada, China, England, Korea, Mexico, and Taiwan.
