Marissa Coryer, a junior at Wareham High School, was selected to attend the MA HOBY Leadership Seminar in August.

Each year, the Massachusetts Hugh O’Brian Youth (MA HOBY) Leadership Seminar convenes for a weekend to recognize the leadership talents of students and provide them with the tools to become “effective and ethical leaders.” 

The seminar includes hands-on activities, and presentations designed to help students learn how to lead others and make a positive impact on their community.

At the end of the seminar, students are challenged to give back by serving at least 100 hours in volunteer hours in their communities.
