Building Futures...One Teen at a Time
Washington Business Week is able to impact over 3,000 teens a year because of contributions made by businesses, service clubs, individuals and foundations. Community volunteer and financial support makes the program accessible to teens during the summer and school year.
The full cost is $1200 per teen (summer). Students stay the entire week directly on the university campus. Teens pay a $455-$855 registration fee (financial assistance is available, and we award approx. $60,000 per year). Each teen has a business, community or individual “Sponsor” that has donated $500 or more. Statewide Corporate and Foundation grants secure the remainder. The In-School Program cost is about $150 per student.
Your contribution inspires the youth of Washington State to create success in their lives, their future workplaces and communities. The real-life experience at Business Week changes teens and bridges the gap between generations. One student sums it up, “I now feel a connection between me and the business world.”
