Volunteer with SkillsUSA Illinois.
SkillsUSA Illinois is driven by volunteers who believe in preparing students for success in the workplace. Whether this is your first time volunteering or your 25th, there’s a place for you - and you don’t have to be a SkillsUSA expert to make a difference.
Volunteer opportunities range from virtual judging of our Chapter Excellence Program using a provided rubric, connecting businesses with opportunities to support our competitions, and assisting with special projects, to spending a few hours or a full day judging at the SkillsUSA Illinois State Leadership & Skills Conference (SLSC). For those who want to be more involved, multi-day volunteer opportunities help ensure our conferences and competitions run smoothly from start to finish.
Your time, talents, and industry expertise provide students with meaningful opportunities to practice real-world skills, receive feedback from professionals, build confidence, and prepare for successful careers.
Whether you can give a few hours, a day, or several days, your involvement matters. Join the professionals, educators, alumni, and community members who help make SkillsUSA Illinois experiences possible for thousands of students across the state.

In-Kind Partnership Support
Business and industry partnerships are at the heart of SkillsUSA Illinois. Your in-kind support—whether providing contest materials, tools, equipment, prizes, or other resources—helps us create meaningful, hands-on experiences for our students. Your generosity gives students the opportunity to compete with industry-relevant resources, build confidence, and develop the skills they need to be career-ready.
Judge a Competition
We are always looking for judges in industry and leadership.
As a judge, you get to sit down with multiple students throughout the day and watch their skills unfold. It is so important to note, that the students have spent all year working, honing their skills, and becoming a master in their trade. You get to have the first look at that years hard work. They come ready to impress and eager to learn.
