Volunteer as Judge, Empower Tomorrow’s Leaders at Washington Business Week

Now you can make a difference for the next generation with only a few hours. At Washington Business Week, high school students learn crucial life skills as they role-play as industry professionals, launch a company, and solve real-world challenges. Who will be the winning team? You be the judge!

At our end-of-week competition, the fresh faces and questions of the judges are what make our events both challenging and unforgettable. You’ll return to work on Monday refreshed and inspired by the innovation and teamwork of the next generation.

This is a great way to give back and connect with the next generation of leaders. No experience is required.

You may sign up to judge both the Stockholder Presentations and the Trade Show, or choose to judge only the Trade Show.

We’d love for you to get involved with our other programs—whether by volunteering or making a donation. Learn more here: https://www.wbw.org/getinvolved/
