"As you bring talent and passion to your roles as HOBY Ambassadors, I trust you will find there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit as giving your all to a difficult task. (호비 참가학생들이 갖고 있는 열정과 재능은 어려움을 헤쳐나가며 세상을 변화시키는 힘이 될 것입니다.)."
Barack Obama, 44th president of the United States (버락 오바마, 44대 미국 대통령)

"Education plays an essential role in helping students develop
into future leaders. The skills and ideas young people acquire will
help them make wise decisions in the coming years. Through these
seminars, held annually in each of our United States, Hugh O’Brian
Youth Leadership (HOBY) provides excellent opportunities for students
to better understand the workings of democracy and the free enterprise
system."
George W. Bush (조지 부시, 전 미국 대통령), 43rd President of the United States

of Americans with the character and competence they need to be successful
adults. Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) is one of our staunch
allies in this crusade... HOBY is encouraging each of the thousands
of high school sophomores who attend these leadership seminars to
volunteer at least a hundred hours a year to a community service
project. The HOBY commitment to America’s Promise will produce at
least 1,400,000 volunteer service hours a year."
Colin L. Powell (콜린 파웰, 전 국무장관), Former United States Secretary of State
"Attending the Hugh O’Brian Leadership (HOBY) seminar in 1971
was a genuine turning point in my life. It was my first time to
fly on an airplane, travel out of the state, and meet people from
around the nation and world. I forged friendships that have continued
for years, and the impact of HOBY is a large part of why I am Governor
of my state today."

and significant achievement."

and First Lady Barbara Bush
"One of the best things that Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership
(HOBY) does is it labels every student who attends the conference
a leader, whether they’ve ever considered themselves one before
or not. Second thing it does is it allows sophomores, possibly for
the first time in their lives, a chance to leave behind everyone’s
ideas of who they are. For that weekend… they’re completely free
to come up with their own definition of self."
Actor James Van Der Beek (영화배우 제임스 반 데 빅), 1993 HOBY Alumnus
"You know, we business people like to say we’re driven by the
bottom line. The real bottom line is the future, and we owe it to

a corps of young people who will be prepared to meet the challenges
facing future generations."

"Perhaps all of us ? politicians, scholars and public opinion
makers ? have not yet fully realized one simple fact. It is that
we are not just standing on the threshold of a new century but are
present at, and participating in, a change of epochs. Hugh O’Brian
Youth Leadership (HOBY) is helping facilitate that change."
Mikhail Gorbachev (미하일 고르바초프, 구 소련 대통령 및 1990년 노벨평화상 수상자), Former President of the Soviet Union

at one of HOBY’s leadership seminars. What an outstanding role model
for our future!"

of Rice University, Houston, Texas
"HOBY continues to be a vital program serving our youth. NASSP
has enjoyed a professional relationship with Hugh O’Brian and HOBY
since 1972. We believe that the long history and commitment of these
outstanding HOBY programs are most worthy of our and your support

young people. HOBY has my full support and personal endorsement."
