The PyeongChang Organising Committee for the 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games began recruitment for 4,200 volunteers for the Games on 1 July 2016. POCOG will receive applications through an online system until the end of September, and anyone older than 18 are eligible to apply. Also, organisations with 50 or more members may apply in the group recruitment category.
During Games times, accepted volunteers will be dispatched throughout the venues to provide service to Olympic and Paralympic Games participants and spectators across seven areas—Games Information, Operational Support, Media Support, Technology, Protocol/Language Services, Sport, and Medical Services. After the screening process, selected volunteers will be required to go through field training sessions and classes designed to offer top-notch service to all Games participants. Uniforms, accommodation, meals, insurance coverage and other benefits will be provided to all volunteers.
