The Hobart Jr. Main Street Program began in Hobart in 2003 with a membership of 16 students. Today, there are over 86 students who have been involved in various community service projects throughout the year. Denise Worley is the sponsor from Hobart High School who works with the students on the projects in which they are involved. In 2008, the Hobart Jr. Main Program was recognized as the "Best Community Youth Involvement Program" at the Oklahoma Main Street Awards Banquet at the Cowboy Hall of Fame. The students add a valuable service to the community of Hobart and enjoy doing special things for the community. The outstanding high school students, who are a part of the Jr. Main Street Program, learn about community involvement and city government that will prepare them for future opportunities to be involved in volunteer responsibilities where ever they live.
The Hobart Jr. Main Street was presented the "Outstanding Youth Group Involvement Program" at the Keep Oklahoma Beautiful Banquet at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Tulsa on Monday evening, Nov. 24th 2008. The award was presented to the Hobart Jr. Main Street students for their involvement in the "Big Bang Day" projects for the last five years and for their willingness to devote their time to serving at numerous banquets throughout the year, their participation in the events that are held each year, and for their service to the Hobart community.
