HOBY enhances leadership skills
Seminar for high school students gives leaders
a chance to utilize and develop their skills
EXETER - The Hugh O'Brian Youth Foundation or
HOBY held a Community Leadership Educational
Workshop on Friday at the Exeter Lions Centre. The
leadership seminar was attended by
approximately 50-55 students in
grades 10, 11 and 12 who were cho-
sen to participate because they
have demonstrated they are lead-
ers.
The one day event gives young
people the opportunity to develop
leadership skills. Each CLEW in-
cludes sessions discussing issues in-
cluding leadership, government, educa-
tion, industry and Canada's role in the
global community.
HOBY is a non-profit organization dedicated to mo-
tivating young people toward positive action in their
school and community. Hugh O'Brian founded HOBY
in 1958 after a trip to Africa where he was inspired by
a visit with Albert Schweitzer. The goal of the semi-
nars held each year is to help high school students gain
an understanding of the problems, frustrations, chal-
lenges and rewards in today's world.
"There is more to HOBY than being a
leader. HOBY is also about making
friends and enjoying yourself. Life-long
friendships are formed at events like
this one," said Jen Strang of the
CLEW Committee.
Speakers for the morning panel
were Sharon Wurm, Constable Ray
Jack and Pat Donnelly. Motivational
speaker Bob Parker was on hand to inspire
students in the afternoon.
Funding and donations of time and supplies for
?WS come from local service clubs, businesses,
community volunteers and private individuals. The Ex-
ctcr Lions Club was a major supporter of the event.
McDonald's restaurant, New Orleans Pizza and Seip's
Valu -Mart also contributed.
