In an unprecedented
campaign to support New York City’s Bid for the Olympic
Games in 2012, NYC2012, the committee leading the Bid
effort, has established a goal to enroll 60,000 New
Yorkers as volunteers.
With less than 250 days
left until the final decision is made by the
International Olympic Committee (IOC) on July 6, 2005,
NYC2012 is working with companies and organizations to
recruit volunteers and show the world that New Yorkers
really want an Olympic Games in 2012. Their goal is to
encourage New Yorkers to show their support for the bid
by volunteering in any way they can, ranging from
promotional event staffing to serving as Information
Ambassadors and spreading the word about the Olympic
Games to colleagues, friends and family.
No Olympic Bid City has
ever recruited this many volunteers! Only in New York
could athletes from every nation, from Brazil to
Bulgaria, from Ireland to India, from Kenya to Korea,
find people from their hometowns cheering them on as
they compete. Every athlete will truly feel at home.
Recruiting 60,000
volunteers during the bid phase will send a powerful
message to the IOC and the world about the enthusiasm
New Yorkers have for hosting the Games, as well as the
City’s ability to execute the world’s greatest sporting
event.
Join the
thousands of volunteers who have already committed to
making New York’s Olympic Bid a reality. To register as
a volunteer and show your support for New York City, go
