Volunteers are needed to serve as company advisers and judges for Enterprise Week, the Pasco School District’s 17th annual business simulation event for high school seniors.

Seniors from Chiawana, New Horizons, and Pasco high schools get to experience the business world by developing a new product and working as a company team to build a supporting business for that product.

The volunteer company advisers are assigned a company of 14 to 15 students to mentor through the business operating cycle. Company advisers are needed daily between 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., but duties also can be shared if volunteers cannot be at the event the whole time.

The five-day event runs from Nov. 28 to Dec. 2 at the TRAC facility in Pasco.

Judges are needed on Dec. 1-2 to review the work of student companies in the areas of marketing, human resources, and digital story board, and to judge stockholder presentations and the culminating tradeshow. Shifts are two hours or less, times vary, and no experience is necessary.

Enterprise Week also will feature some special guests this year.

Three students from Nakusp, British Columbia, will be joining student school board representatives Jesus Mendoza, Misty Lace and Evan Naef.

Cam Olson, Carmen Larder and Rhys McLeod have been involved in an entrepreneurial experience in Nakusp and have invented a product called the “EZ Lite Fire Starter Kit.” They will present their concept to Pasco students during Enterprise Week.
