FIRST Championship Volunteers: Are you attending either FIRST Championship with your team? Or maybe your team didn’t qualify but you don’t want to miss out on more FIRST fun? Consider donating some of your time to volunteering at the event! It takes almost 800 volunteers just to run the FIRST® Robotics Competition Program at each Championship location. We have several roles that are 1-day roles (such as team load-in and team load-out) and several that are multi-day (field reset, robot inspecting, plus more). Log in to your account to see what roles we still need volunteers for at each location and apply if you are able! We do need the most help in Houston, so if you are interested, please register to volunteer! Questions? Email firstchampionshipvolunteer@firstinspires.org
As always, we are here to help. Please contact our Customer Support Team with any questions, or if you need help, visit our "Contact Us" webpage: |
