London 2012 Volunteering Applications Open
Volunteers have been integral to both Summer and Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games since they were used for the first time at London 1948. So in 2012, the volunteer programme will be coming home to the city where it all began!
A London 2012 Games Maker will be one of the faces of London 2012, with the chance to show what the UK is all about: excellence, passion and positivity. Set against this truly inspirational backdrop, volunteers will build new friendships, develop skills and play an integral role at the heart of the largest event ever staged in the UK.
There are almost 30 different teams – known as 'functional areas' – within LOCOG that will need generalist volunteers during the Games, from Transport to Village Management, from Language Services to Sustainability.
There is no need for previous volunteering experience for these roles, and full training will be provided.
For more details and how to apply, please visit the London 2012 website.
Up to 70,000 volunteers will be needed for the Games. Even if there are many different roles on offer, some applications might not be successful. In that case, don’t give up. Many volunteering opportunities related to the London 2012 Olympics will be available in the Region. You just need to get in touch with your local volunteering centres by clicking here.
