Overview
- LA28 announced Monday that its Games-time volunteer application portal will go live on July 14, exactly two years before the Opening Ceremony.
- Organizers are seeking roughly 60,000 volunteers to staff both Olympic and Paralympic periods, with the Olympic service window running March through August 2028 and the Paralympic window running August through September 2028.
- Each volunteer must commit to at least 10 shifts and can apply for roles ranging from guest services to specialized tasks such as medical support and language translation.
- An interest form is open now and the full application will be available at LA28.org on July 14, with applicants able to name preferred locations including Oklahoma City, New York, Columbus, Nashville, St. Louis, San José and San Diego.
- The recruitment follows LA28’s multi-year community volunteer work and reflects a nationwide venue plan that will make Los Angeles the third city to host three Olympics and the first to host its Paralympics, broadening local legacy and operational needs.
