The Olympic Volunteers Virtual Community

Welcome to the public page of the Olympic Volunteers Community.

The Olympic Volunteers Community project was launched by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 2023.

The aim of the community is to maintain links with the volunteers from the Olympic and Youth Olympic Games.

When the Olympic Games end and the Olympic flame is extinguished, there are many people who want the unique experience they have just had to continue indefinitely.

The Olympic volunteers, who give so much to ensure the success of the event, are among the most fervent supporters of the Olympic Games, and embody the Olympic spirit, Olympism and the Olympic values. They represent the human legacy of the Olympic and Youth Olympic Games.

Volunteers who join the community will receive newsletters with relevant content and be invited to take part in unique events organised online or in person. They can also share their experiences and promote the Olympic values in their respective communities.

It’s the start of a new journey – a new Olympic experience.

There are currently four active Olympic Volunteer Communities:

The Olympic Games Paris 2024 Volunteers Community
The Winter Youth Olympic Games Gangwon 2024 Volunteers Community
The Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 Volunteers Community
The Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018 Volunteers Community

And the IOC is not stopping there. It’s planning to continue this initiative with volunteers at upcoming Games editions, and will also look to engage with those from previous editions.

Stay tuned!
