The Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership, also known as HOBY, honors senior Sarah Shakespeare for completing over 100 hours of community service after her HOBY experience.

Shakespeare received a certificate of recognition for her dedication to the community, along with a signed letter from President Barack Obama.  Javier La Fianze, HOBY’s President and CEO, wrote a letter of recommendation for her college application regarding her outstanding volunteering.

Shakespeare felt honored to receive such an award.  “The award was really unexpected.  I really loved my experience at HOBY, and I feel extremely honored to receive this recognition.”
