Do you think of the people that you meet?
The events you go to?
Your Team? Other Teams?
ROBOTS?!?!?!
What do I think of when I think of FIRST?
I think of you.
Yes you! Whoever you are reading this blog post. FIRST is a lot of things, but most importantly it’s the people. All the many things that FIRST is are nothing without the people who make up our community.
There are many ways to remain a part of the FIRST community after your time as a student on a FIRST Team ends! As a FIRST Alum, you can remain part of the community as an event-day volunteer and/or team coach or mentor; or donor; or advocate!
In addition to the ways you can give back to FIRST, we want to stay a part of your life and continue to help you be successful. As a high school participant on a FIRST Team you’ll gain access to our alumni programs: TheFIRST Scholarship Program, FIRST Internship Portaland FIRST Alumni Group on LinkedIn.

Best,
