FIRST Alumni Groups
Since the inception of FIRST®, millions of young people around the world have participated in FIRST programs, and each year thousands of students graduate high school and mark their transition from FIRST participant to FIRST alum. Over time, FIRST Alumni have come together to create a tight-knit community —rooted in a common experience —which spans the globe.
Because of how formative students’ FIRST journeys are, alumni love to remain engaged with and committed to the mission of FIRST. The primary ways alumni remain involved with FIRST are: creating or joining FIRST Alumni Groups, either on a university campus or regionally; being a part of the FIRST Alumni LinkedIn Networking Group; and mentoring and volunteering in their respective areas.
One of the most fun and organized ways FIRST Alumni come together are via structured alumni groups. Regional Groups are generally affiliated with an identified FIRST territory or region and are often led or supported by the local FIRST organization. Collegiate Groups are usually a grass-roots effort led by a FIRST Alum to create a chapter at their respective school and bring together other FIRST alumni on campus.

FIRST Alumni Groups
FIRST Alumni Groups serve multiple purposes, including — but not limited to —a friend group with a common bond, a peer-to-peer networking circle, an organized method to assist/mentor local FIRST teams, and a platform to volunteer at FIRST events. FIRST Alumni Groups may be associated with a FIRST Region, a College/University, or a corporation.
