We appreciate your interest in working with FIRST in Texas. We are a nonprofit in the state of Texas and the safety of our participants and volunteers are our top priority. FIRST in Texas offers a variety of activities you may choose from when volunteering your time. Simply complete and submit a volunteer application and upon approval you will receive instructions on next steps.

It is very important that the information you enter on the application matches your government issued identification card including your full legal name. It is important that you provide a valid email address so you can be notified as to the status of your application and for future communication. If you are unable to provide an email address, you use the district’s / company email address. All information collected on the application will remain confidential and not be shared outside the volunteer program.
