THE RIO 2016 VOLUNTEER PROGRAM IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE PART IN THE WORLD’S BIGGEST SPORTING EVENT,
helping with many of the activities that will be carried out in Rio de Janeiro and cities hosting football matches. Volunteering will also benefit you by enriching your CV, expanding your network, and giving you the chance to meet people from different cultures. You will also be able to enjoy exclusive training courses that will be provided for selected candidates. Do not miss out on this great opportunity to participate and make the history of the Olympic and Paralympic Games part of your own life’s history.
TO BE PART OF THE RIO 2016 VOLUNTEER TEAM, YOU NEED TO:
- be 18 years old by 28 February 2016
- be available for ten days during the Olympic and/or Paralympic Games
- have completed your basic education (not mandatory)
- be available during each step of the selection process and undergo training sessions, which may take up to three full days
In order to be part of this group, you will be guided along a journey of approximately two years, during which time you will discover the best role to match your profile.
There are dozens of possibilities, from helping at airports and ceremonies, to being a photographer’s assistant or camera operator. Since we want to avoid anything getting in the way of your work during the event, we are preparing our venues with everything you will need.
