2011 HOBY New York East Leadership Seminar World Leadership Congress Loyola University Chicago Chicago, Illinois July 23 rd - 30 th , 2011 Held annually in late summer, the HOBY World Leadership Congress (WLC) is an opportunity to interact with youth from all over the United States and the world. All participants from the state HOBY Leadership Seminars are eligible to attend this weeklong, intensive, educational program on a first paid, spaceavailable basis. The WLC program includes coming face-to-face with today’s top leaders in business, government, medicine, education, philanthropy and much more. In addition, the weeklong schedule is set in the backdrop of some of the greatest cities in the U.S. WLC students learn to think globally and critically, enhance their leadership skills, and meet students who share a desire to lead and make their schools, communities and countries better places. For more information on the WLC, visit www.hoby.org. HOBY’s annual global youth leadership seminar, the World Leadership Congress (WLC) , brings together approximately 400 high school students from around the world for a week-long, intensive educational program. The WLC provides youth with training in leadership skills and capacity building. Students are exposed to a distinguished group of leaders from various sectors in business, government, international affairs, science and technology, medicine, media and education. The week is divided into educational sessions involving panel discussions with question-and-answer periods, interactive workshops, training exercises, focus groups and individualized trainings. HOBY’s student “ambassadors” leave the WLC more mature individuals, more aware of the world around them, and more empowered to make meaningful contributions to their communities. Perhaps most poignant to HOBY ambassadors are the newfound friendships they make with other students who are just like them from all parts of the world. Page 32
2011 HOBY New York East Leadership Seminar “How many people can say that they have best friends who live in Taiwan and Canada? Well, at WLC I met over 400 enthusiastic and amazing people from all over the world, many of whom became my closest and most memorable friends. WLC was easily the best experience of my entire life, and I formed friendships with people who I will stay in touch with forever. At WLC I learned to be comfortable with myself and to not change or be different for anyone else. I learned to be a more confident and outgoing leader, who was up to try anything and never afraid to step “outside the box.” I will always remember and cherish WLC as the best 7 days of my life, and it is there where I truly realized I would be able to make a difference in the world, through HOBY.” - Shilpa Taneja HOBY NYE 2010 Alumnus All 400 ambassadors who will attend the WLC are either: • U.S. high school sophomore students who first attended one of HOBY’s regional three- or four-day state leadership development seminars that take place each spring, or • International students between 15 and 17 years of age who have first attended a local program in their respective home country, if one exists. HOBY New York East offers partial scholarships to two representatives selected as “Outstanding Future Leaders”. This years’ New York East delegation is limited to a total of six Ambassadors. The two Outstanding Future Leaders will have their place in the delegation reserved.
