Welcome HOBY Ambassador!
The Future is Yours!
Spring 2016
Welcome HOBY Ambassadors:
Congratulations on being selected to attend the New York West Hugh O’Brian
Youth Leadership (HOBY) Seminar. You were chosen for the honor of
representing your schools because of the outstanding leadership potential
you have demonstrated. The purpose of this HOBY seminar is to teach you
how to think – not what to think. You will get from life what you put into it, and that applies to a HOBY
seminar, too. We want to awaken in you that magic genie of self-esteem so important to any success. You
were selected to attend HOBY because you are special: think special and you will always be special.
You will make many new friends this weekend – hang on tight to them – you have many more years of
meaningful futures to share. You will also realize that a great many volunteers gave a great many hours to
make this weekend possible. These volunteer speakers, staff and committee members give their hours freely
because they believe in the future of the U.S. and recognize that you outstanding young people represent
the future.
You have been challenged this weekend to do what has been modeled for you. I sincerely encourage you to
return to your own communities and seek out meaningful ways that you can use your leadership for
community service.
I don’t have any children of my own, but I’ve got a couple of hundred thousand like you out there who I’m
proud to call my family. So, shine bright my friends; you are all my tomorrows and the future is yours to
make outstanding!! I wish you love and Godspeed!
Love,
Hugh O’Brian, Founder
P.S. The greatest gift you will ever receive is the one you give to others.

Welcome to HOBY New York West!
Dear Ambassadors:
Welcome to HOBY New York West! We are so excited to welcome you to
our annual seminar, and with that, into our HOBY family. Believe it or
not, it wasn’t so long ago that we sat in your seats, wondering what the
heck was going on, as questions swirled in our heads: “What is HOBY?
Why am I here? Will I have fun?”
We can’t answer all of those questions, but here’s what we can tell you: Prepare to experience
something new. Okay, not just some thing new, but many new things! Over the course of our seminar,
you will participate in hands-on leadership activities, meet leaders in our state, and explore your own
personal leadership skills while learning how to make a positive impact in your community. We want you
to think for yourself, ask questions, share ideas, and come to your own conclusions.
Throughout the course of the seminar, remember this: You are here because
someone saw something wonderful in you – the ability to lead. You are the
future of your school, community, our nation, and even the world. While our
volunteers and speakers will contribute greatly to the success of the
seminar, the biggest contributing factor will be YOU – your attitude, your
willingness to go beyond your beliefs and behaviors, your participation, and
what you will give to your fellow ambassadors. Open yourself to the people
around you this weekend. Learn from one another and discover the unique
contribution you can make in your school, community, and the world. As a
society, we face challenging times ahead and leaders are needed!
Continually ask yourself, “How can I make a difference?” We are here to help
you answer that question. Approach this weekend with enthusiasm, and you
will not be disappointed.
“You can’t put a
limit on
anything. The
more you
dream, the
farther you get.”
-Michael Phelps
On Sunday, you will become members of the HOBY alumni family. Like us, you will have a special
responsibility to be a leader and make a positive difference wherever you go. We hope you will carry
HOBY with you in whatever it is you choose to do, and maybe you will be standing in our shoes one day.
After HOBY, there are many ways to continue to be involved with us – whether it’s attending the
reunion on Aug. 6 or returning next year as a volunteer. Be sure to follow us on social media (we’re
everywhere!) and stay in touch. We always love hearing from our family.
Finally, congratulations! This weekend, and your life, will be what you make it… And you can make it
outstanding.
HOBY Hugs,
Emily Ciraolo, ’03 & Melissa Maxwell, ’05

The HOBY Story
In the summer of 1958, Hugh O’Brian received the
invitation that would change his life forever. At the time,
O’Brian had already made a name for himself as an actor
portraying the legendary lawman Wyatt Earp on television
and appearing in numerous films. When he received a cable
from Dr. Albert Schweitzer welcoming him to French
Equatorial Africa for a visit, he did not hesitate to accept.
O’Brian had long admired the German doctor-missionarytheologian-musician, and within 2 weeks he arrived at Dr.
Schweitzer’s remote hospital complex in Africa. During his
visit, O’Brian spent his days assisting the volunteers in the
hospital and his nights with Dr. Schweitzer discussing global
peace and world politics. During their discussions, Dr.
Schweitzer told O’Brian that he felt “The most important
thing in education is to teach young people to think for
themselves,” which O’Brian would never forget.
After an inspiring 9 days, O’Brian prepared to return to
America. Before saying goodbye, Dr. Schweitzer took
O’Brian’s hand and asked, “Hugh, what are you going to do
with this?” It was these words combined with his
unforgettable visit that compelled Hugh O'Brian to form
Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY). Two weeks after
returning from his 1958 visit to Africa, O’Brian put together
a prototype seminar for young leaders.
From 1958 to 1967, leadership seminars took place in
Los Angeles for sophomores from California. In 1968, the
scope of the HOBY program grew to include national and
international participants which led to the expanded 8-day
global leadership seminar called the World Leadership
Congress (WLC) held annually. In an effort to include more
students nationwide, 3-day and 4-day HOBY Leadership
Seminars were instituted in 1977 in which high schools
throughout the country may nominate a sophomore to attend
a HOBY seminar in their state.
Five decades later, HOBY is still inspiring young people
all over the world to develop their leadership and criticalthinking skills to achieve their highest potential. Currently,
more than 9,500 tenth graders, representing almost as
many high schools nationwide, attend HOBY Leadership
Seminars each year. These seminars are run by more than
4,000 volunteers with community leaders, business
executives, educators, and parents involved in every
seminar. Each seminar strives to follow the HOBY motto of
teaching students, “how to think, not what to think,” thus
ensuring that Dr. Schweitzer’s hope for young people lives
on.
Hugh O’Brian:
Visionary, Legendary Humanitarian
Hugh O’Brian was born April 19, 1925,
in Rochester, N.Y. At 17, he became the
youngest drill instructor in Marine Corps
history, but found his true passion was acting.
O’Brian gained national fame and notoriety
with his portrayal of frontier lawman Wyatt
Earp in “The Life and Times of Wyatt Earp.”
This top-rated television series ran from
1955-1962 and made O’Brian an overnight
success. After the series ended, O’Brian went
on to other acting projects in film, television,
and Broadway while devoting the rest of his
time to HOBY.
The honors and awards he has received
from his work with HOBY are numerous. In
1983, the National Society of Fund Raising
Executives honored him with their premier
award for overall philanthropic excellence
as a volunteer, fundraiser and philanthropist.
This is the only time one individual has
received the award in all three categories. In
1989, he received the 60th Annual American
Education Award presented by the American
Association of School Administrators. O'Brian
joins Norman Rockwell, Lyndon Johnson,
Helen Keller, Walt Disney, and Bob Hope as
a recipient of this most significant award.
O’Brian currently lives in a hilltop home
overlooking Beverly Hills. Still extremely
active in his eighties, his hobbies include
sailing, swimming and tennis.

Leadership Seminar Curriculum
The curriculum for this Leadership Seminar is based on HOBY’s vision to motivate and empower
individuals to make a positive difference within our global society. HOBY believes students like you
represent the future leaders of the world – leaders in business, education, government, or any field you
choose – because YOU are someone who will make a difference. By developing and understanding
effective and compassionate leadership, we hope you will be able to realize your leadership potential,
and take action in your homes, schools, workplace, communities and the world.
Your HOBY experience will help you develop leadership from three perspectives:
1. Personal Leadership 2. Group Leadership 3. Leadership for Society
We will focus on your individual growth in order for your leadership to make a better world and a
better society for yourself and others.
Everyone at HOBY believes in your ability to be a leader and affect the future for all of us.
So, stand out and be outstanding! Show us who you are and what you can do. HOBY is your open
door to a life of leadership and service. We can’t wait to learn what potential you will unlock through
HOBY.
HOBY’s Selection Process
Each September, HOBY Sophomore
Registration Kits are sent to over 22,000
public, private and charter high schools in
the United States. All tenth graders are
eligible for selection to attend one of the
three- or four-day weekend seminars held
in their area each spring. A sophomore
leader may be selected by each school
and is certified by the principal.
HOBY’s seminars focus on the theme
“Empower.
Lead.
Excel.”
while
encouraging the young leaders toward
responsible citizenship, including community
service and volunteerism.
Community Leadership Workshop
(CLeW)
The Community Leadership Workshop (CLeW) is HOBY’s
introductory one-day leadership program for high school
freshmen, which focuses on leadership as a discipline to be
explored and learned. HOBY CLeW students interact with
local community leaders, and participate in group activities,
and conduct community service projects. CLeWs are
organized, developed, and implemented by local business
leaders, civic groups, volunteers, and HOBY Alumni. If you
are interested in organizing a CLeW at your school, please
contact your local seminar planning committee.

As you will learn this weekend, one of the most powerful
ways to show leadership is through service to others.
HOBY believes so strongly in the idea of servant
leadership that we answered the call and a created an
initiative that challenges all Ambassadors to continue
their HOBY experience long after the seminar concludes.
Leadership for Service (L4S) is HOBY’s service-leadership
program intended to prepare young people to
contribute to their communities through service-learning
and volunteerism.
The objectives of Leadership for Service are:
•
To inform Ambassadors about the role and impact of
community service;
•
To facilitate setting short-term community service
goals;
•
To provide opportunities to connect with community
service organizations; and
•
To provide documentation of program impact and
effectiveness.

Each Ambassador is challenged to return to his/her
community and conduct at least 100 hours of community
service in the year following the HOBY Leadership
Seminar.
Ambassadors are asked to make a year-long
commitment to strengthen their communities through
volunteerism, and to track their success by logging their
hours on the HOBY website, www.hoby.org in the Alumni
section. Since the implementation of HOBY’s Leadership
for Service program in 1998, participants have logged
over 2.8 Million volunteer service hours.
Through HOBY’s Leadership for Service programs,
Ambassadors gain the tools, passion and commitment to
serve others. To help young people realize the personal
and social benefits of volunteerism and service, HOBY
awards each Ambassador who successfully completes

Each line below lists two contrasting traits. Your task is to spread seven (7) points between the two
statements on each line to reflect the balance of how each describes you. Points may be spread in any
way you wish including the use of half points, but both sides together must add up to seven for the line.
Give high points to the choices that describe you well, while giving the other side lower points. For
example, people who see themselves as quick in the way they handle things may fill out the first line like

The Freedom to Choose
Unfortunately, a very small number of our young people seem to attract the most of the
news. They are in the public eye because they have stolen cars, vandalized schools, created
disturbances – in some way rebelled against society. These headline-makers represent only a
small part of our teenage population. It is a fact that 98.7 percent of our young people are lawabiding, constructive citizens. There is too much focus on the negative. It is time we accent the
positive – pat the good guys and gals on the back – let them know there are rewards for being
responsible members of the community.
I do NOT believe we are all born equal – CREATED equal in the eyes of God, YES – but
physical and emotional differences, parental guidance, varying environments, being in the right
place at the right time, all play a role in enhancing or limiting an individual’s development. But I
DO believe every man and woman, if given the opportunity and encouragement to recognize his
or her own potential, regardless of background has the Freedom To Choose in our world. Will an
individual be a taker or a giver in life? Will that person be satisfied merely to exist, or seek a
meaningful purpose? Will he or she dare to dream the impossible dream?
I believe every person is created as the steward of his or her own destiny with great
power for a specific purpose to share with others, through service, a reverence for life in a spirit
of love.
