Once you're signed in, three pages do most of the work.
Your profile
Your info lives here — and so does your certifications list. When you earn an official VEX / Global Robotics certification (like the referee certification), record it on your profile: that's how local Event Partners can see at a glance that their certified positions are covered.
Volunteer Roles
The Volunteer Roles page is where you pick what you do here:
- Self-assignable roles — Volunteer, Coach, Supporter, Student. Choose them and they're yours immediately.
- Vetted roles — Judge Advisor, Head Referee, and Event Partner. These are requested: the official credential comes from VEX / Global Robotics, and gainingSTEAM validates your certificate to add the role to your account. You'll get an email when it's added.
