Now Seeking Lead Volunteers for Houston, Jakarta, and Geneva WCCs

The SCA is looking for people who would like to contribute more time and skills by holding lead volunteer roles for the 2025 World Coffee Championships in Houston, Jakarta, and Geneva. These positions require a greater time commitment but are perfect for specialty coffee professionals who are open for leadership roles and would like to be more involved with the behind-the-scenes support of the event.

The 2025 events that we’re currently seeking lead volunteers for are:

  • World Coffee Roasting Championship at Specialty Coffee Expo — Houston, TX, USA | April 25-27

  • World Brewers Cup at World of Coffee — Jakarta, Indonesia | May 15-17

  • World Latte Art, World Coffee in Good Spirits, World Cup Tasters, and Cezve/Ibrik Championships at World of Coffee — Geneva, Switzerland | June 26-28

Lead volunteer roles include stage/backstage assistants & managers, scorekeepers, bar managers, and head runners across the competition stages and WCC bar areas.

Lead volunteers have various benefits relative to the time commitment and skill sets required.

See the job descriptions below, and use the form to submit an application by November 8. If you’re interested in one of the positions but do not meet the experience level, contact us! We’re happy to provide guidance on how to gain the hands-on competition skills needed for the future.
