HOBY’s mission is to provide lifelong leadership opportunities that empower individuals to achieve their highest potential.
HOBY was founded in 1958 by veteran actor Hugh O’Brian after a visit with Dr. Albert Schweitzer at his clinic in Africa. Motivated by Dr. Schweitzer O’Brian established HOBY. Since its beginning, more than 355,000 young people have participated in HOBY’s programs throughout the world.
