How is WILS Supported?
- WILS is funded entirely through charitable contributions. All monies are contributed by private individuals, corporations, and service organizations (Kiwanis, GFWC, Rotary, Optimists, etc.)
- The cost to sponsor a student to attend the WILS seminar for three days is $200. Although WILS is entirely run by volunteers, the sponsorship fee is needed for lodging, meals, transportation to sites for community service, a WILS t-shirt, printing, copying, postage, and other supplies. See the Files page for our sponsorship booklet.
- By sponsoring local students to attend as ambassadors, organizations can make sure that their money is spent on the youth of their area.
- Your sponsorships have made it possible for over 5,000 students to attend the WILS seminar over the past 34 years. Please take a moment to download our sponsorship form, and sponsor a student for the 2011 seminar.

"WILS fostered relationships with inspiring people that have lasted a lifetime for me. I cultivated relationships with other alumni who continue to motivate me and who have an energy for life and for positively impacting their community. Through continued volunteer involvement with WILS I have also developed relationships with people throughout our state working to improve our world through social justice organizations, politics, and business."
-Sarah P., WILS 1994
