I didn't have great role models or mentorship when I was in high school. So what I saw at HOBY RI in 2025 was transformative for me.
I saw 32 students come in as uncertain, shy kids that were reluctant to be there. But, by the end of the weekend, they had stepped into their confidence and learned vital leadership skills they can take with them for the rest of their lives.
I want to support this organization to continue mentoring these students at an age when they need it the most.
