Register to be an Olympic Ambassador

Registration is now OPEN to become an Olympic Ambassador!

Ambassadors will welcome visitors from all over the UK and the world to Manchester, Trafford and Salford during the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games.

The Ambassador Programme is the joint volunteer programme for Manchester, Trafford and Salford communities to get involved in the London 2012 games preparations and games times activities in the 3 communities.

Registration is now OPEN - visit www.manchestervsb.org, click on ‘Want to be an Olympic volunteer’ and fill in the short application form. If successful you will be invited to interview the week commencing 6th February 2012, with successful applicants being informed at the beginning of March.

300 volunteers will be required and all applicants must be available to volunteer on at least 4 of the event days between July 2012 – August 2012 and duties will include welcoming visitors to the area at the various transport hubs (airport, train stations etc), marshalling outside Old Trafford Football Ground, City Centre Fan Sites and stewarding the Olympic Torch Relay and Last Mile, plus many more.

Throughout 2012 there will also be events in the lead up to the Olympics that may well be used as test events ready for July 2012, such as the NBA event at the Manchester Evening News Arena.

Ambassadors will also be given fantastic training. You'll take part in group role plays, discover how to keep calm in a crisis and become a pro at dealing with difficult situations. You can use your new skills to find a job, or be inspired by your experience as a Ambassador to continue volunteering.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be part of this major event, so don't hesitate and be part of it today!!
