OUR MISSION
Every young person in the UK has the potential to be a leader. Our seminars and workshops are designed to ask young people who they are, who they want to be, and ultimately how they can achieve that potential. We bring together young people from different areas, background and cultures to expand their horizons and their ambitions.
Our programmes are proven to cultivate personal growth and inspire action. Our young people leave HOBY UK with introspection, knowledge and compassion, and dreaming of ways to make the world a better place. We want our young people to make a positive impact on the world, and to know that, truly, the sky is the limit for them all.
WHAT DO WE DO?
OUR IMPACT
The HOBY experience has been a great benefit to our students. They are more confident and so much more positive about the school and their education. They have become great ambassadors, really keen to take the initiative. I would thoroughly recommend HOBY UK for the transformational and lasting impact it can have on a young person’s life.
Jo Code – Head Teacher St. Hilda’s Church of England High School
HOBY has changed my life because it has given me the confidence boost I needed. It has allowed me to be able to cope with new situations and take on more leadership roles without feeling overwhelmed. Without HOBY I would struggle so much more with leadership and new situations. It has also helped me make some amazing friendships and meet lots of really cool people.
Elsie – Student 2023 Seminar
HOBY changed my life, from the girl who was shy and timid, never wanting to stand out from the crowd, to being able to stand confidently and speak infront of an audience, feeling comfortable as a leader. I learnt it was acceptable to be myself, and that has helped me to be who I am today. Each year I put my own skills to the test, along with developing new ones, and I’m thankful that I get to be a part of the HOBY family.
