Wyoming youth seminar seeks volunteers

CHEYENNE - The Wyoming Hugh O’Brien Youth (HOBY) Leadership Seminar is looking for adult volunteers for its 2008 seminar in Cheyenne, June 7-9.

HOBY Leadership Seminars are designed for high school sophomores to recognize their leadership talents and apply them in becoming effective, ethical leaders in their home, schools, workplace and community. Currently, nearly 9,000 sophomores, representing as many high schools nationwide, attend one of over 70 HOBY Leadership Seminars held nationwide each year. HOBY Wyoming 2007 brought 29 students from around the Cowboy State to Cheyenne for three days of leadership training.

TThe Wyoming Business Council helps sponsor and manage the event as a way to promote entrepreneurship to the youth of Wyoming.

This year’s Wyoming HOBY seminar will take place at Laramie County Community College in Cheyenne June 7-9. Guidance counselors and principals around Wyoming have been given information on how to register students. The HOBY Wyoming committee has been formed and seeks adult volunteers to offer their talents either before during or after the seminar. Among the tasks HOBY Wyoming is seeking help with, are finding speakers, fundraising, student recruitment and working with student ambassadors during the event.
