Volunteers as young as 16 are being invited to apply to help at the Commonwealth Games when the event returns to Glasgow next summer.
Organisers are looking for people for the front and back of house as well as those who can assist athletes from all 74 nations taking part.
Jade Gallagher, Chief Operating Officer, Glasgow 2026 said “We’re creating opportunities for a new generation of volunteers to join the incredible existing volunteering community in the city.
“This is a moment for Glaswegians who would have been just 4 years old during Glasgow 2014, to be part of shaping a new story for the Commonwealth Games.
“By lowering the volunteering age to 16, we’re giving more people the chance to gain valuable experience in events and sport, all whilst making incredible memories and life-long friends.
“Volunteers truly make the Games; they’re a friendly face in the crowd and vital behind-the-scenes support in our venues.
“We’re excited to be opening our application portal next week, proudly welcoming volunteers from all backgrounds and communities.
The applications portal will open on Tuesday September 16 at 10am and people from a range of backgrounds are being asked to apply.
Jade added: “We know Glasgow gets wholeheartedly behind its city and I have no doubt that first-time and returning volunteers will bring the personality and the party to the Games next summer. Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity, follow us on social media to get ready for volunteering”
