Be part of FIRST® LEGO® League as a volunteer!
FIRST LEGO League events run not only on great teams and their impressive robots and innovation projects, but also on the indispensable contributions of amazing volunteers.

A variety of roles are available, from referees and judges to event support and logistics heroes. Whether you are a technology prodigy, have a passion for teamwork, or are just enthusiastic about inspiring young people, there is a role tailored for you!
