Opportunity for Sophomores

 

 

HOBY NH Youth Leadership Seminar (Sophomores only)
Dates: TBD (but it’s typically the second weekend of June)
Location: TBD (but usually on a college campus in NH)
It is a three-day event from a Friday through Sunday and you must be able to attend all three days.

HOBY NH is a three-day leadership seminar for high school sophomores. They teach students about personal, group, and societal leadership with relation to empathy, along with other important skills that they can bring back to their communities. 
You do NOT need to be a leader or have experience for this program, as the goal is to teach leadership skills!

There is a $350 cost associated with this program if you register by the Early Bird deadline. 

There are currently four spaces available for this event with possibly more after a certain date so a waitlist will be created. Please review the website and if you are interested in applying write a brief explanation about your motivation for applying to attend this event.

 

Email or share a doc with Mrs. Burrows (L. [email protected])  by Monday, November 30th.  Submissions will be reviewed by a committee. You will be notified by December 3rd if you are accepted or are a waitlist candidate.  If you are accepted and plan to attend, you will be scheduled to meet with Mrs. Burrows for a Flex to complete registration information.

The Class of 2029 kicked off our Rock Your Socks fundraiser this week and we need your help to reach our goal. Not only does this fundraiser help us raise important funds for class events and future activities, but supports those in need in our local community. For every pack of these fun, stylish socks we sell, a pair of socks will be donated to the Dover Friendly Kitchen!  

 

These are good quality socks for a good price! They make great stocking stuffers or holiday season gifts and can be shipped nationwide making it as easy as sharing a link to include any out of area friends and family to participate.
