Volunteers

NRL Colorado welcomes volunteers

The NRL Robotics League is powered by volunteers—people who believe in giving students real-world opportunities to design, build, and compete.

Whether you’re a student, educator, industry professional, or just someone who loves hands-on learning, there’s a place for you here. We host one high-energy regional competition, and it takes a team behind the scenes to make it happen.

Why Volunteer

This isn’t just volunteering—it’s impact.
  • Help students discover careers in manufacturing and engineering
  • Be part of a high-energy robotics competition
  • Share your skills (or learn new ones)
  • Connect with educators, manufacturers, and future talent.
