Congratulations on your nomination to represent your school at the Georgia Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership Program!

The most outstanding weekend of the year is quickly approaching! June 6-8 we will be on the Middle Georgia State University - Cochran Campus for what is sure to be one of the most life-changing experiences you will ever have. There are multiple campuses for MGA, so make sure you are traveling to Cochran.

We hope you are excited about meeting ambassadors and HOBY staff members from all over Georgia, hearing incredible speakers, and growing as young leaders.

A few very important reminders for the weekend:

  • Please wear a shirt that represents your high school on Friday

  • Check-in is from 7:00 to 8:30 am on Friday, June 6

  • Access the packing list here. Please read it carefully and be sure to bring sheets and towels!

  • Access the campus map here. Direct your ride to the parking lot between buildings 25 and 29 off of SE 6th Street in Cochran. The dorm is Building 24 on the map.

  • Come with an open mind, be prepared to learn, and ready to have a lot of fun!
