Lego Robotics Coach

Coach/Mentor a Group of Youth   No previous experience or knowledge required!

First Washington, a non-profit organization, is partnering with Echo Glen to bring the many many benefits to the youth of learning robotics.

The initial need is for 4 volunteers to service as mentors for a 6-week pilot program – sessions will be approximately 60-75 minutes each week at a time after school that works in your schedule (3 PM or later).  You’ll be mentoring 3 enthusiastic youth.

  •  If interested in coaching, you can get more info through a Zoom program orientation from First WA
  • Then there will be in-person training at Echo for the 4 coaches selected for the pilot.
  • Program activities will be held on campus & in-person with the youth.  Volunteers & staff are required to wear masks.
  • Not a cleared volunteer? Echo will process your volunteer application for this program.

Email echokids@gmail.com for more info or to be a part of the initial program orientation.
