Two BHS Students Named Youth Foundation Ambassadors

Bolingbrook High School sophomores Sargun Singh and Natalie Dominguez have been selected as 2013 Hugh O’Brien Youth Foundation Ambassadors, and will represent BHS at this year’s conference June 21-23 at Loyola University.

Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership, or HOBY, is the nation’s foremost youth leadership development organization. Its mission is to inspire and develop a global community of youth and volunteers to a life dedicated to leadership, service, and innovation. The seminar focuses on providing outstanding high school students with an amazing opportunity to learn how to lead and make a difference. Once students become a HOBY Ambassador they benefit from a vast network of innovative thinkers, both peer and adult.

Singh and Dominguez were two of 12 students nominated by members of the BHS staff to be considered for selection. Nominated students were then notified and offered the opportunity to be closely considered in the second round by completing a brief essay about being a student leader. 

Singh is involved with the football and volleyball teams, as well as a member of Mathletes and a Student Ambassador. Dominguez is the JV Wrestling team manager, a member of Student Government and a Student Ambassador.

Their trip is sponsored by the Bolingbrook High School Student Government.
