Friendships. Community. Leadership. Teamwork. Positivity. Potential. Talent. Respect.

These are some of the words that come to mind when I think about HOBY. As a high school sophomore, I never could have known how greatly this organization would impact my life. At the seminar, I learned about my ability to make a difference, became more confident, and realized the importance of accepting others for their own unique personalities and skills. I learned that sometimes being a leader means that you have to be a follower, and knowing the difference between those times is when you can accomplish great things. I carried those lessons throughout my college career in Architecture school at Auburn and into my professional career now as an Interior Designer with THW Design, a mid-sized firm in Atlanta. I work with people and clients from all over the United States, developing senior living facilities that embrace hospitality and home-like environments. I have volunteered off and on with HOBY for eleven years. I have made wonderful friends and continue to learn something new each time I volunteer. I love leading a group of teenage students and seeing them go from strangers to teammates to friends. HOBY truly is a bond that cannot be broken, and its lessons can be applied throughout every phase of life.

Featured Alumnus: Will Burgess '07

I will never forget having my car rushed by the HOBY staff back in June of 2007. I had no idea what I had signed up for; I especially had no idea that it would change my life. I walked out of that car in 2007 as an awkward but passionate teen. HOBY helped to focus and channel my energy to where I could best make an impact. The lessons I learned from HOBY guided me throughout college and now in law school. But the biggest gift HOBY gave me is the lifelong HOBY family. Friends from HOBY are with me wherever I go: whether it's at the University of Georgia or at Harvard Law School. We have a bond that runs deep, because we know we will always be there for each other. I am incredibly thankful for the impact HOBY has had on my life. I know I wouldn't be half the person I am today without it.
