Benefits to Students
What are the Benefits to Students?
The HOBY experience benefits participating sophomores through their involvement in the Seminar weekend by providing the following opportunities:
- To learn to assimilate information secured from panelists and to transfer it from student to student through discussion and debate.
- To discover through the process of critical analysis that there are at least two sides to every question and that a good leader examines all opinions before making decisions.
- To come to an understanding that they possess special traits, skills and leadership instincts that can make a difference in their lives and the lives of others.
- To discover that the HOBY experience can provide the "will and skill" to undertake leadership roles in the students' respective schools and communities with confidence and enthusiasm.
- To meet and interact with other highly able and motivated high school sophomores.
Participants in HOBY Seminars are called "Ambassadors" because they are charged with the responsibility of bringing back to their high school peers their enhanced understanding of our American economic system of opportunity and the competence of leadership.
