About HOBY Korea

Excel to Lead Hugh O’Brian created our organization HOBY, Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership Foundation, after meeting Dr. Albert Schweitzer in Africa, inspired by his simple statement: “The most important thing in education is to teach young people to think for themselves.”

HOBY seeks to teach teenagers how to think, not what to think, and strives to motivate them to act in service to others. This is the reason HOBY Korea became a part of HOBY. HOBY Korea has been an international partner of HOBY (Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership Foundation in the U.S.) for the Republic of Korea since 2003, currently run by Education Association for Software Empowerment (EASE).

We are the first to introduce unique HOBY-style leadership programs to Korea which was sensational and changed the whole trend of youth programs in Korea. Following HOBY’s vision and mission, HOBY Korea is committed to giving future Korean leaders an opportunity to develop their leadership skills and empowring them to make a positive and meaningful difference within our global society.

HOBY Korea is a non-profit organization registered in Seoul Metropolitan City and a registered Civil Social Organization of NGO Branch of UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs. HOBY Korea has also partnered with Korean American Civic Empowerment (KACE) and Korea for the Federation of Korean Associations USA, and worked with foreign embassies in Seoul to give Korean youth to meet US senators and representatives, experiencing world politics and international affairs.
