Opportunity Details

The Organization

Seattle-based nonprofit XBOT Robotics inspires and prepares students in traditionally underserved communities to pursue STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) learning and careers through mentored robotics competitions and hands-on projects. We have a 20-year history of providing students with free or low-cost opportunities to have fun while developing skills and gaining experiences they can use to secure summer internships, college admissions, and ultimately well-paying jobs in STEAM disciplines. Our programs typically engage approximately 800 students per year, and our goal is to engage 1800 students per year by the school year 2024-25.

The Role

This job will coordinate all the transportation and housing for the students to attend both practices and competitions. This is an exciting opportunity to work with students, watch high school robotics competitions, and make a big difference for our underserved student population. Typical modes of transportation include bussing for local events/practices, and trains or airplanes for venues at greater distances. Lodging is only needed at the NW Districts and World championships if we qualify. This work will require coordination with Seattle Public Schools both for payment and faculty support.

This is a year-round need, but the immediate problem is for the FRC season with dates:
- Kickoff - Saturday, January 6, 2024 @ 9AM Pacific time
- Practices for the season: Tue, Thur (6 – 9PM), and Saturday (9AM – 3PM)
- XBOT competition #1: Auburn High School - March 8th,9th, and 10th
- XBOT competition #2: Sammamish High School - March 22nd, 23rd, 24th
- IF we qualify for the Pacific Northwest District Championship in Portland, Oregon:- April 3rd to April 6th
- IF we qualify for the FIRST Championship (a.k.a., "Worlds") in Houston, TX: April 19th to April 22nd. 

This role is open to anyone. Ideally, the volunteer is located in the Seattle area and has great organization and communication skills. This position may require travel to practice and competition events to ensure transportation of students is smooth. Food will be provided for all practices and competitions.

At JA Finance Park presented by the USAA Foundation, each student becomes “an adult for the day” in an electronic simulation. The students are assigned a life scenario so they can experience firsthand the real-life challenges of making personal budgeting decisions. After calculating their net monthly income and savings goals, students visit kiosks that represent different budget categories such housing, health insurance, groceries, and utilities. Anyone with real world monthly budgeting experience can become a volunteer. JA Finance Park Volunteers play a key role by helping the students understand the concepts of personal financial planning and career exploration. Volunteers provide guidance and assistance while monitoring and verifying students’ work.

Our ultimate goal is to represent USAA’s brand well, be good corporate citizens and partners to our nonprofit community members, and most importantly be there for these students, many of whom are in economically disadvantaged areas. When we do not show, this makes the event very challenging for junior achievement, for the remaining volunteers, and for the students.
