Calling all volunteers – we need you for the 2012 School Games!

Friday 25 November 2011

The 2012 School Games is taking place in London between the 6th and 9th May 2012. The location of the event will be at ExCel, Old Loughtonians Hockey Club and Barking RFC on 6-8th May, and at the Olympic Park on Wednesday 9th May 2012. 12 National Governing Bodies of Sport are involved in the event, these are: Athletics, Badminton, Cycling, Fencing, Gymnastics, Hockey, Judo, Rugby Sevens, Swimming, Table Tennis, Volleyball and Wheelchair Basketball. We estimate that around 1657 athletes will participate in this event across the 12 sports and an event of this size will require 400+ volunteers to support the delivery of this event.

The Youth Sport Trust is responsible for the overall management of the event, but will be working with the London Youth Games as a delivery partner to manage the recruitment, training and deployment  of volunteers. Through this event we aim to reward and recognise a diverse workforce of skilled, trained and enthusiastic young and adult volunteers, and to inspire them to continue their volunteering journey far beyond this event.

Are you interested?

Applications for all volunteers will be live from Friday 25th November 2011
The closing date for school group applications is 17th December 2011
The closing date for individual applications is  31st January 2012.
