After months of waiting anxiously, the ambassadors and junior and senior staff of Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership assemble to empower, lead, and excel.
“I hope to learn how to take the leadership skills that I’m learning back to my school and lead my classmates,” said Mattie Chafer, ambassador.

The day began with members of the junior staff charging ambassador’s cars, yelling about how happy they were to be at HOBY. With this in mind, ambassadors are asked to come slightly out of their comfort zones and open their minds to the panels, speakers, and leadership activities that we have in store.
“I’ve been excited! This morning when everyone was coming out and running was the most shocking part,” said Josh SanGrait, ambassador.
Following registration, ambassadors had the chance to meet up with their group and junior and senior facilitators where they participated in cheers, and icebreaker games.

The day was finished out with the Opening Ceremonies, energizers, speakers, and group time. With all the excitement, one can only wonder, what the next day will bring. |
