I don't know that schools can pull the rest of the world the way a locomotive pulls a train; but I am confident that a community can support a school, and can make STEM programs into community programs that don't depend so strongly on any single handful of participants.

If FIRST wishes to influence more students, I feel like being integrated with schools would be able to reach more students. I haven't really talked in depth on this matter to a key figure in a community-based STEM program, but working with schools seems to get more students involved.
At the same time, community-based programs seem to be stronger and more sustainable, but that's an argument for another day...
