SPRINGFIELD, Va. (April 4, 2019) – Hope For The Warriors® and Hugh O’Brian Youth (HOBY) have partnered to motivate young leaders to live a life devoted to advancement and leadership by offering two Hope For The Warriors HOBY Sponsorship Scholarships.

Hope For The Warriors is accepting applications for two scholarships to the HOBY World Leadership Congress. The scholarship covers the cost of the conference, lodging, food and travel. Applicants should be military children that are high school college sophomores and juniors. Application deadline is May 15.

HOBY offers leadership seminars based on three leadership perspectives: personal, group, and societal. HOBY leadership opportunities were designed to prepare students to turn their ideas and goals into reality.

Based in Chicago, the HOBY World Leadership Congress is a week-long summer program that promotes and empowers students to become better leaders within society. High school students have the opportunity to interact, experience, explore, and participate in leadership exercises and activities. Students who attend the HOBY World Leadership Congress have the option to earn two college credits.

“Our hope is to encourage young leaders to develop big ideas that will impact the world,” said Robin Kelleher, Hope For The Warriors co-founder and president/CEO. “This sponsorship is designed to aid military children in the growth of personal leadership and management skills.

“Additionally, this opportunity has been initiated to allow young minds to grow in the five core HOBY values: volunteerism, integrity, excellence, diversity, and community partnership,” added Kelleher.
