Since 1978, HOBY Texas
North has served the region by inviting local area high school
sophomores to our annual seminar and encouraging these students to not
only discover themselves as leaders but to give back to our
communities. We have grown to be one of the top sites in the country,
growing over 38% in just the last four years.
During our programs, we strive to teach young men and women not WHAT to think but more importantly HOW to think. Our curriculum is based on the "Social Change Model", focusing on an individual's personal responsibility and commitment to lead, a person's ability to lead with a group, and a person's impact on society. We accomplish this with the help of dedicating alumni, volunteers and local leaders in business, education, science & technology, government and other fields. We have developed and introduced innovative programs that are used across the country and our alumni have attended both the World Leadership Congress and the new HOBY Advanced Leadership Academy.

At the end of each seminar, every Ambassador
commits to giving back volunteer hours or "Leadership 4 Service" hours.
In the last five years alone, HOBY Texas North alumni have logged over
37,500 hours with a donated value of over $750,000. We have forged
partnerships with organizations from Big Brothers Big Sisters to Teach
for America to Magdaleno Leadership to improve our reach and find as
diverse a population as leaders as possible. Our alumni have gone on to
launch non profits, lead companies, run for office, attend West Point
and join the Peace Corps - each finding their unique place and way to
lead.
As HOBY Texas North launches a new partnership with the University of Texas at Arlington, we look forward to inviting new youth leaders to our seminars and having an even greater impact on our schools and communities.
During the course of the next few weeks, we will bring you reflections of seminar's past, we will introduce several members of our alumni and volunteer base, and we will bring you the 2013 Seminar in "real time" so you can see what makes us OUTSTANDING!
For now, sit back, and enjoy the ride!
