Mid-program, student teams participate in our Idea Review events where they are able to meet with volunteers and share their top invention ideas. As a volunteer, you will hear more about their ideas and provide feedback so that they can move forward to the prototyping phase of their project!

At Village Capital, we believe that the work of entrepreneurs solving urgent problems is vital to face the current world situation. For this reason, we fuel the growth of sustainable and impactful businesses by unlocking capital for early-stage entrepreneurs who are building emergent solutions for social, economic, and environmental challenges worldwide.

Greentech LatAm 2024: The Future of Sustainability will support early-stage companies who are creating locally viable solutions focused on cleantech and climate tech, agtech and food security, circular and regenerative economy, natural resource management, water sanitation, and health in Latin America.

Since 2014, the Johnson Family Scholarship program has awarded 19 high school scholarships in Wisconsin and Illinois high schools. Participants are welcome to run, walk or stroll their way to the finish line. The 5K race will be timed, awards given out to the top male and female runners/age by division & overall male and female finishers and have a sponsored raffle with many prizes.

As a Community Partner, you would be paired with teams and share your story, hobbies, challenges you face, or any other experience or expertise that you want to share!

Able to give honest feedback kindly
Open about the challenges they face in their personal or professional life
Open to curating experiences for students, in addition to providing insights and stories (e.g. an EMS professional inviting students to join them for a ride in an ambulance)

- Firefighters who inspired students to create a wearable device that alerts individuals with hearing impairments to emergency situations.
- An artist and seamstress with a vision impairment who inspired teams to create a portable camera and monitor that will magnify images to reduce eye strain and enhance the sewing experience.
- A representative from a school for the visually impaired who inspired Braille blocks that offer children with visual impairments a chance to enjoy learning Braille through added audio features.
- A teacher with an interest in the environment who inspired students to create a camera rail system to photograph and monitor pollinators in local gardens
