70,000 volunteers needed
Overall, ATHOC will require the skills of 60,000 volunteers for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, not including the 10,000 volunteers needed for the Opening and Closing Ceremonies. Their fields of activity will be in press operations, technology, medical services, sports, welcoming visitors, security and transport as well as in the Olympic Village.
Volunteers make the Games happen
Volunteers are the people who make the Games happen, supporting every athlete, spectator and visitor. Part of the success of the Olympic Games belongs to each one of the volunteers of previous Games, such as the 47,000 volunteers at the Sydney Games.
