This role is perfect for organized, friendly individuals who enjoy meeting people and supporting the behind-the-scenes success of FIRST LEGO League Challenge and FIRST Tech Challenge events.

- The volunteer check-in person is responsible for checking volunteers in at the start of the event, ensuring they sign/have signed consent and release forms, and conflict of interest and disclosure statements.
