Teams form in local communities and recruit as needed. FIRST does not match youth to existing teams due to our privacy policy. We encourage those looking for a team to contact local schools, libraries, or youth organizations that may have a team in place or an interest in starting one. An online search may also be helpful, as some teams share contact information through websites and social media pages.
If you contact a team regarding collaborating, mentoring, or accepting new team members, they are under no obligation to respond. Please do not contact FIRST Customer Service regarding your outreach to a FIRST team.
