300+ Quad City Area Volunteers Needed:
Volunteers are currently being sought to support 11 upcoming
FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) robotic competitions and events in our 7th year in the Quad City area reaching 1,400 students in grades K-12.
No previous experience or technical background is required for many of the volunteer positions with adults and college and high school students eligible to volunteer.
It doesn't matter which FIRST program you volunteer for, you will always walk away at the end of the day with a sense of pride and fulfillment, knowing that you have helped children experience what they never might have without FIRST and without your support.
