Join the Games Volunteers
The World Firefighter’s Games is a biennial competition in which Firefighters and their families from all over the world compete in numerous and varied sporting events.
The participation of volunteers in the delivery of these Games is essential. It would not be feasible to hold these games without a major involvement of volunteers to provide much of the help and support required. It’s a fundamental requirement of the Games that there must be a lasting legacy for the people of Sydney. One of the most important ways of delivering this is through volunteering. Consequently the recruitment of volunteers will not be confined to just sports enthusiasts but to the whole of the community with people from all marginalised groups being actively sought as volunteers. There will be a particular focus on encouraging young people from all over Sydney to take part.
Volunteer roles will include helping to set up and take down sporting equipment, meeting competitors and helping them with their kits etc, meeting and greeting the public and guiding them to their seats. We will also need volunteers to help with administration, catering, uniforms and many other tasks. No particular skills are required just the enthusiasm to get involved.
Event Dates 19th - 28th October 2012
