Volunteer

Volunteers are the heart and soul of successful VEX competitions. Event Partners rely on Referees to keep things fair, Emcees to keep things exciting, and Queuers to keep things on schedule! Volunteering at a VEX competition is easy to learn, fun to do, and rewarding for everyone involved.
