Volunteering

The Business World summer program is a success year after year, in large part, because of the dedicated business professionals who volunteer their time, energy, manpower, and expertise to mentor the students that attend our events. Our group of talented faculty advisors is made up of business men and women from all over Wisconsin, with various backgrounds.

Advisor

During our summer camps, students are divided into teams. Each team functions as an imaginary “company” for the program, with you as their advisor. The company is tasked to create a unique product, develop marketing strategies, design a commercial, budget for a profitable business and present an annual report in front of a panel of judges and their peers. Over the course of the program as an advisor, you will be available as their company mentor and offer support when needed.
