My first year as a HOBY Facilitator!
Celebrating their 65th anniversary, this year's HOBY Los Angeles theme was Origin Stories.
I had the honor to witness my group of youth ambassadors begin their weekend as caterpillars and fly away today as butterflies; taking the new ideas and leadership skills they learned back to their homes, schools, and communities.
It is a pleasure to be a part of their HOBY story. Super excited to see how they'll go on to change the world.

Youth Leadership: Cultivating the Changemakers of Tomorrow
In today’s rapidly changing world, the need for effective leadership is more crucial than ever. As we face complex global challenges, it is imperative to empower and cultivate the youth to become the changemakers of tomorrow. Youth leadership not only builds a strong foundation for personal growth but also contributes to positive societal transformation. By nurturing leadership skills in young individuals, we can create a brighter future and pave the way for a generation of compassionate, innovative, and visionary leaders.
Empowering Young Minds
Empowering youth to become leaders begins with providing them with the necessary tools and opportunities. Education systems, community organizations, and families play a vital role in creating an environment that encourages leadership development. By fostering critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication skills, young individuals can gain the confidence to voice their ideas and take initiative.
Mentorship and Guidance
Mentorship and guidance are essential components of youth leadership development. When experienced leaders invest their time and knowledge in mentoring young individuals, they inspire and shape their leadership potential. Mentors provide guidance, share experiences, and offer valuable insights that can help young leaders navigate challenges and make informed decisions. Through mentorship programs and initiatives, young people can benefit from the wisdom and expertise of those who have walked the path before them.
Encouraging Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Youth leadership goes beyond traditional roles and extends to innovative thinking and entrepreneurship. Young minds often possess fresh perspectives and creative ideas, which, when nurtured, can lead to groundbreaking solutions. Encouraging entrepreneurship among youth enables them to harness their skills, embrace risk-taking, and bring about positive change. Initiatives such as start-up incubators, entrepreneurship competitions, and access to resources can provide the platform for young leaders to turn their ideas into reality.
Social Impact and Community Engagement
Youth leadership thrives when young individuals actively engage in their communities and make a positive social impact. Encouraging volunteerism, community service, and civic participation instills a sense of responsibility and empathy in young leaders. By actively addressing social issues and collaborating with like-minded peers, youth can create grassroots movements, raise awareness, and advocate for change. These experiences not only develop leadership skills but also foster a sense of purpose and a commitment to making the world a better place.
Global Perspective and Collaboration
In an increasingly interconnected world, youth leadership must embrace a global perspective. Encouraging young leaders to think beyond borders, appreciate diverse cultures, and engage in international collaboration expands their horizons and widens their impact. Global youth summits, exchange programs, and international partnerships provide opportunities for cross-cultural understanding, knowledge sharing, and collaborative problem-solving. These experiences cultivate empathy, cultural competence, and a deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of our world.
Youth leadership holds immense potential to shape the future. By empowering young minds, providing mentorship, encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship, promoting community engagement, and fostering a global perspective, we can cultivate the changemakers of tomorrow. Investing in youth leadership development is an investment in the well-being of our societies and the sustainability of our planet. Let us rally behind our youth, nurture their potential, and create a world where young leaders thrive and transform our world for the better. Together, we can build a brighter future and cultivate the leaders our world needs.

my jobs as a youth leader are:
bully middle school boys but like, lovingly
remind people (including the youth pastor) to drink water
give the youth pastor crap
make sure that the one very heat sensitive kid is not overheating
hold the youth pastor's baby
gossip with the youth pastor's wife
give the youth pastor crap specifically about the fact that the kids' parents have to sign waivers for field trips, but the only people who have ever gotten hurt on said trips are the leaders
try really hard not to stare at the sound guy, who is also a youth leader
remind parents that I am in fact a leader and not one of the kids (a frequent mistake)
watch the youth pastor's dog
coordinate children's locations and rides
remind the high school groupchat of events and meetings
but my most important job as a youth leader is:
give the youth pastor crap :)
