Young Games Makers from the Host Boroughs!
7 Sep 2011
The London 2012 Organising Committee (LOCOG) needs more than 2,000 16-18 year olds (Young Games Makers) to help put on the Olympic and Paralympic Games in the summer of 2012.
Young Games Makers will help make the Games happen and will take on roles in a number of LOCOG teams, from Athletics to Sitting Volleyball and Aquatics.
Roles will range from Print Distribution Team Members, who will be responsible for distributing athlete results to the right officials around the venue, to Athlete Kit Team Members, who will carry athletes’ kit on to the field of play in front of a crowd of spectators.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for young people to get involved in the Games – while learning new skills, gaining experience and making new friends.
We want young volunteers to have a fantastic experience and be well cared for, so we’re recruiting for teams of Young Games Makers, headed by a team leader who already works with them.
If you are in a leadership role at your school or college and would like to put forward a team of young volunteers, find out more!
Applications will be open from 22 September 2011.
Calling ball boys and girls from the Host Boroughs!
We are recruiting over 120 ball boys and girls from the Host Boroughs of Waltham Forest, Greenwich, Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Newham and Barking and Dagenham to volunteer during the Wheelchair Tennis competition. This opportunity is open exclusively to schools and colleges in those boroughs. The role will involve retrieving the ball and giving balls to players when requested during the competition. Volunteers will also implement ball change during matches and take care of players’ requests during changeovers and set breaks
Young Games Makers should be friendly and outgoing with good communication skills, ability to work as a team and be physically fit to be able to perform tasks accurately. Volunteers should also have a keen and demonstrable interest in sport.
