WSG Auxiliary Board

About

The Washington School for Girls (WSG) Auxiliary Board is a volunteer-based committee of young professionals who are committed champions of WSG’s innovative educational model. Board members collaborate throughout the year to host fundraisers, volunteer with students, and serve as ambassadors for WSG in their community.

The Board has three primary goals:

Raise Funds to support the mission of the school, with an annual goal of $54,000, which is equivalent to estimated tuition cost for three students.
Raise Awareness of WSG within the greater Washington region
Create Opportunities for the school and students by making connections and volunteering.

Events and Activities

A downtown rooftop happy hour fundraiser usually held in the Fall, designed to raise funds and introduce new people to the mission of WSG.

Fitness and Social Fundraisers

Volunteer Activities

Members support special projects as needed, such as conducting mock interviews for 8th graders, helping with high school admissions essays, or supporting school events like Field Day.

Career Day

Members assist with coordinating WSG’s annual Career Day by volunteering as presenters and recruiting colleagues from their networks to participate.
