Athletics<\/a> Championships, and the UCI Cycling World Championships here in Glasgow.\n<\/p>\n\n \u201cEach of these opportunities gave me the chance to meet incredible people, gain new experiences, and be part of moments that brought the city together on a global stage.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThat\u2019s why I\u2019m encouraging others to volunteer for Glasgow 2026 \u2014 it\u2019s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make lasting memories, build friendships, and play a vital role in welcoming the world to our beautiful city again.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Phil Batty OBE, chief executive of Glasgow 2026, said: \u201cVolunteers bring an energetic and friendly welcome to a major event. Since 2014, Glasgow has time and time again demonstrated that people really make this city and I know the volunteers in 2026 will rise to the opportunity.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe\u2019ve been asked since day one about volunteering and we\u2019re very excited to open the application portal today. We are encouraging applications from people from all walks of life from across Glasgow, Scotland and beyond \u2013 no prior experience is required.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe appetite to volunteer in the city is high and there\u2019s lots of ways to get involved no matter what your interests are.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIt\u2019s a great way to soak up the action, focus on your wellbeing and to be part of shaping a new era for the Commonwealth Games. This is a chance to say: \u2018I was there.\u2019 So come and get involved and start your application today.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
