Volunteers help with tasks that support the team such as:

• Event setup and cleanup

• Concessions or food distribution

• Managing crowd flow at competitions

• Transportation or supervising team gear

• Helping at outreach or community events

• Administrative tasks or donation support

Volunteers do not mentor students or participate in technical build work. That’s reserved for team mentors.

Volunteers:

• Support events and logistics

• Have flexible, low-hour involvement

• Do not teach or supervise students long-term

• Often help only a few times per season

Mentors:

• Work closely with students

• Attend meetings regularly

• Participate in technical or leadership roles

If you simply want to help at events or support the team occasionally, volunteering is a perfect fit.

• HCPS Volunteer Application (required for any role involving student interaction on HCPS property)

• FIRST Inspires Registration and YPP Screening

• Blue Cheese Volunteer Information Form (contact + availability)

Volunteering is flexible and event-based.

Examples:

• Helping for 1–2 hours during outreach

• A half-day at a competition

• Quick setup or teardown

• One-time support during a fundraiser

There is no weekly time commitment.
