Part of chairman's is about developing business partnerships within your community. Remember, outreach isn't just to other schools and younger children. FIRST is trying to change an entire aspect of our culture, including corporations and small businesses.
The way we've done it, students intern at local businesses over the summer and in return the businesses sponsor us. All of the internships are paid, and the reason the businesses benefit is because they don't spend so much money recruiting high caliber interns. This may not work for your area though, so you'll have to find something that will.
