The FIRST Core Values emphasize friendly sportsmanship, respect for the contributions of others, teamwork, learning, and community involvement and are part of our commitment to fostering, cultivating, and preserving a culture of equity, diversity, and inclusion.
Sometimes remembering what all the Core Values mean can be difficult - so we have motions to help! Say the Core Value and read the definition, do the action in (parentheses) on the Bolded word - make sure to emphasize them! Pictures are also available to help our visual learners.
