Just as astronomers chart the stars to navigate the unknown, this year’s Ambassadors will chart the course of their legacy, beginning with EMPATHY, CRITICAL THINKING, and INITIATIVE. As they embark on their journey among the constellations, they will discover the power of TEAMWORK, COMMUNICATION, and RESPONSIBILITY, learning how to collaborate with other leaders across the state to reach their collective goals. By fostering an INCLUSIVE mindset alongside new friends and fellow South Carolinians, our Ambassadors will blast off to new heights. and emphasizing the importance of collaboration, HOBY SC 2025 will see our Ambassadors blast off to new heights to ignite positive change.
