What World Leaders are saying about the HOBY program:

“By encouraging leadership and educating teenagers about the vast world of opportunities before them, the Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) program is making a very important contribution to our nation's future.”
Hillary Rodham Clinton, United States Secretary of State

“Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) – and its countless volunteers – have developed a way to educate America’s next generation in the art and purposes of leading a free people; and that is an enduring and significant achievement.”
George H. W. Bush, 41st President of the United States, and First Lady Barbara Bush

“The continued vitality of American business, our communities and our nation is highly dependent upon the knowledge and capabilities of our young people. Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) nurtures today’s young people into tomorrow's leaders.”
Al Gore, Former Vice-President of the United States, and Tipper Gore

“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 our youth to prepare them for that. Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) does just that. By promoting leadership, HOBY is building a corps of young people who will be prepared to meet the challenges facing future generations.”
Ted Turner, Chairman, Turner Broadcasting Systems

“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.”
Mike Huckabee, Republican Presidential Candidate and former Governor, State of Arkansas, and 1971 HOBY Alumnus
