Volunteers
Volunteering at the Commonwealth Games is a fantastic
opportunity to get involved. Volunteers will provide a key
element of our Games Workforce across a wide range of roles.
Although many of the roles will be of a very specialist nature
including timekeepers, communications experts, doctors, judges and
many more, there will also be a number of opportunities for people
with less specialist skills.
Not only will our volunteers have a great time contributing to
what we plan to be an outstanding Games, everyone will
also take away from their time with the Games a tremendous
legacy of experiences that will last in their memories as well as
enhance their personal skills.
In line with one of the Commonwealth Games core values of
equality, we will be looking for volunteers from all walks of life,
regardless of race, religion or sexual orientation and from all
locations.
Anyone who wishes to apply to be a volunteer will have to
undergo a rigorous assessment process and must be willing to commit
to a certain amount of time both leading up to and during the
Games. The details of this process will be posted on this
website when we start the volunteer recruitment process in early
2013.
