2025-2026 Southern Nevada Volunteer Opportunities

FIRST hosts thousands of events around the globe annually, made possible by volunteers who fill over 250,000 roles to accomplish the mission of FIRST. Volunteer roles range from safety attendants and field reset to judges, emcees, and referees. Volunteering at an event is a great way to share technical or professional knowledge, but you do not need special skills or expertise to volunteer. Complete your volunteer hours at a fun robotics event!
