Dear FIRST ® Washington Volunteer,

Autumn is fast approaching and so are our FIRST ^® LEGO ^® League and FIRST ^® Tech Challenge seasons. But before coaches, mentors and volunteers are busy supporting our students at practices and events, we have a special opportunity available to all of you!

FIRST ® Washington has partnered with local FIRST ® Robotics Competition teams and Tareena Joubert to provide Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Workshops in three locations across Washington State. These workshops will provide valuable insights into how coaches, mentors and volunteers can encourage equitable practices amongst their teams, students and fellow volunteers. See below for more information.

Unable to make it to one of the in-person trainings? FIRST ^® also offers an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Training entirely online! Coaches, mentors and volunteers may find the Inspiring Success Training especially helpful.
