Volunteer

Volunteer Opportunities We have a variety of volunteer roles available for our upcoming 2025 VEX IQ Robotics Tournament at Villacampa School of Technology. Together, we can make this event a resounding success that celebrates our students' achievements this year.

Initial interviews will be conducted virtually. If you are interested in volunteering for roles such as remote judging, please email [email protected]

We Need Volunteers of All Skill Levels Previous experience is not required for many volunteer roles, and we provide online training resources to ensure all volunteers are well-prepared for their positions. Join our volunteer team, get inspired, and have fun! We especially need volunteers who can commit to full days or multiple days, but we offer a range of shifts to accommodate different schedules.

An average shift lasts between 6-8 hours. You are welcome to sign up for one shift, multiple shifts, or even across multiple days to fit your availability.

Most volunteer roles include perks such as a free t-shirt, meals, and snacks.

Family Participation Encouraged! Young children who can follow directions are excellent candidates for roles like Field Resetters. Whenever possible, we try to assign family members to the same areas so you can volunteer together.
