Through an annual four-day seminar for high school sophomores, HOBY Vermont poses the question, “What can you do to make Vermont a better place?” and then supports them as they find the answer. https://www.hobyvt.org/l4s daily 0.75 2020-11-14 https://www.hobyvt.org/donate daily 0.75 2024-05-08 https://www.hobyvt.org/volunteer daily 0.75 2025-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce1e4dffaff68000187b20f/1586811727620-EYMVZ3JQA0HL3VTPX7WX/IMG_1626.CR2.jpg Volunteer SEMINAR PLANNING COMMITTEE The HOBY Vermont Seminar Planning Committee (SPC) is the heart of the organization. It is made up of dedicated, motivated volunteers that plan and produce the HOBY Vermont seminar. The SPC reviews the seminar program from previous years and works together on ways to improve the HOBY experience for ambassadors. This includes, but is not limited to: picking speakers that align with HOBY Vermont's values, planning activities that will correspond to the HOBY curriculum, create a theme for the seminar, and help prepare the materials needed for the event. Members of the SPC attend monthly 1-hour meetings via online video conferencing technology. Individuals interested in being a member of the SPC or who would like additional information can reach out to the Director of Programming.

HOW TO APPLY Talk to your guidance counselor about applying for HOBY early in the fall semester of your sophomore year; guidance counselors are able to start registering students in late fall. Each high school has their own process for selecting HOBY attendees and demonstrating interest is a great start! If your school does not currently send students to HOBY, email registration@hobyvt.org and we will work with your school or help you enroll independently. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce1e4dffaff68000187b20f/1728344665286-X0S8UYC33BD504T3HA6Q/HOBY3rdDay-105.jpg What is the Seminar? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce1e4dffaff68000187b20f/1728344506381-GPSA5W1TX0ADGATGE8NX/50ea75580b866a94faba72588ae1e872-xxlarge.jpg What is the Seminar? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce1e4dffaff68000187b20f/1728344666129-BH4B4CDIPZNYAWCMJ5OJ/HOBY3rdDay-109.jpg What is the Seminar? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce1e4dffaff68000187b20f/1728344681264-928K4EZG364SO1TI5M6M/HOBY3rdDay-35.jpg What is the Seminar? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce1e4dffaff68000187b20f/1583694415951-0YPZ6W49MSUXE295TH9N/image-asset.jpeg What is the Seminar?
