Paris 2024 has unveiled its program of 45,000 volunteers for the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

To be a candidate, all you have to do is complete an online questionnaire from next March.

These volunteers will welcome the public, the athletes and the accredited personnel during the Games.

It is in March 2023 that the application phase will open to be a volunteer at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. 45,000 people will be recruited, distributed as follows: two-thirds for the Olympic Games (from July 26 to August 11, 2024), for the Paralympics (from August 28 to September 8, 2024).

Launched on the Internet, this application phase will last six to eight weeks.

To apply, three conditions

When the site reserved for applications opens, you must meet the following conditions: be 18 years old on January 1, 2024, speak French or English, and commit to being available for a minimum of 10 days during the Games. 

Most of the missions entrusted to the volunteers will consist of welcoming and guiding the public, the athletes, and the accredited personnel.

Alexandre Morenon-Condé is in charge of the volunteer program at Paris 2024: "The vast majority of missions do not require any particular know-how. It is important to have this in mind. I have to be motivated and that I I want to defend Paris 2024, to be an ambassador for the Games."
