In 1958, Hugh O'Brian (the actor most popularly known as Wyatt Erp) returned from
    Africa inspired by his visit with Dr. Albert Schweitzer. Motivated by Dr. Schweitzer's
     remark, "the most important thing in education is to teach young people to think for
     themselves," Mr. O'Brian established the Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Foundation
     (HOBY).

        Since this time, HOBY has motivated tens of thousands of young people to realize their leadership potential by conducting annual seminars on a variety of subjects which focus around the theme of "North America's Incentive System".
 

HOBYs OBJECTIVES:
 

• To seek out, and develop, leadership potential in high school students.

• To encourage and assist students in their quest for self-identification and self-development.

• To introduce potential leaders to today's recognized leaders through informal, give and take discussions on a variety of current and critical topics.

• To provide through exposure, the opportunity to explore Canada's rold in the Global Community.
