Volunteer
Volunteers make up 99% of the FIRST workforce. Whether you have a weekend to help or just a day, have technical or non- technical expertise, there is a volunteer role suited to your unique interest.
NE FIRST volunteers make a difference in the lives of young people, helping them to discover the real-world value in science and technology. Our volunteers are people from all walks of life that come together to lead by example.
Volunteer Roles
Our Event Photographers are also volunteers, including alumna Kim Eckhardt who took many of our site's photos!
Thank you, @kimsrobot!
GRACIOUS PROFESSIONALISM is part of the ethos of FIRST.
It's a way of doing things that encourages high-quality work, emphasizes the value of others, and respects individuals and the community.
