So, what are you waiting for? Ajak lah your friends to register as volunteers with you!
Volunteers will have to be above 18-years-old with the ability to speak at least two languages and will deal with accommodation and accreditation, handling arrivals and departures in train and stations and airports, at the official ceremonies, directing spectator flows, providing language assistance, helping to organise tournaments and a lot more!
The official Olympic website says that “all Summer and Winter Games attract a great many applications from people who want to enjoy the Olympic and Paralympic adventure from the inside.”
But, before you rush and gather all your friends to register as a volunteer, the registration will only be open in early 2023!
Volunteers will also be expected to give their time to the event including going for the trials that will take place before the competition.
“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience: an opportunity to connect with hundreds of people from countries around the world, meet people you won’t meet anywhere else, and share the excitement surrounding the world’s largest sports event,” the website wrote.
Who knows, you might bump into your favourite athlete at the Olympics games… like Tom Daley? Or maybe Malaysia’s Lee Zii Jia!
