During WIHS’ two show weeks, which includes both WIHS and the WIHS Regional Horse Show, Junior Committee members serve as show ambassadors, helping as needed around the grounds, in the office, with exhibitor hospitality, and more. Junior Committee members also are involved in equine-related volunteer activities and help oversee WIHS social media channels and special events.
The WIHS Youth Ambassador holds a leadership role as chair of the Junior Committee and represents the show’s youth perspective to the WIHS team. Those wishing to be considered for the position as 2025 WIHS Youth Ambassador will complete an additional application to showcase strengths in leadership and management. The Youth Ambassador will have the opportunity to work closely with the WIHS team and help guide the Junior Committee throughout the year.
The deadline to submit applications is April 25, 2025. Applicants must be students between the ages of 14 and 18 enrolled at local Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia schools.
