Alumni
Our Most Important Ambassadors
FIRST alumni are proof of the impact of FIRST
Participants and alumni of FIRST® programs gain access to education and career discovery opportunities, connections to exclusive scholarships and employers, and a place in the FIRST community for life.
FIRST Alumni Groups
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 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.
Alumni Ambassador Program
The FIRST Chesapeake Alumni Ambassador Program provides a platform for former participants to stay connected with the FIRST community, continue their involvement in STEM, and contribute to the mission of inspiring young people to pursue careers in science and technology.
If all of the program requirements are met, a team of your choice located within the FIRST Chesapeake District will be awarded with a $1000 grant.
