There are many ways to volunteer!
Volunteering with FIRST Robotics is an enriching way to inspire the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers.

Opt-In to be Contacted by Other Teams!
FIRST in Vermont offers a unique opportunity for teams to "opt-in" to be contacted by other teams in need of assistance or mentorship within the area. This initiative is especially critical for rookie teams, who often face challenges during their first season. By leaning on each other for support, teams can share knowledge and resources, ensuring no team is left behind. Contact us to let us know that you or your team is willing to share knowledge and resources with others!
