Been there, done that. Hope it works out for you!

Yeah, I too would encourage you to be careful to consider the workload first. That being said, there are numerous teams and competitions in the Baltimore/DC area. And as a result, there are many opportunities to volunteer for FIRST programs even if you aren't mentoring a particular team.

I'm a freshman at JHU now and while I unfortunately don't have the time to mentor a team, I've been able to volunteer for local events and competitions (the Chesapeake and Washington D.C. FRC Regionals are both nearby and the Maryland State FLL program is rapidly expanding).
