Process after application

Let’s enjoy the volunteer journey together!

After applying for the Games volunteer programme, you will spend the next two years leading up to Tokyo 2020 on a “volunteer journey”, taking part in orientation and training sessions with other volunteers. Through this journey, you will experience an increasing sense of being part of the same team as your fellow volunteers, and the growing excitement of being involved in the Tokyo 2020 Games.

Processes

Pairing applicants with their preferred volunteer working categories and locations, and informing applicants of their assigned category/role and location of volunteer activities.

Applicants who we are unable to assign to their preferred working role and location will be contacted during September 2019.

Orientation

Each applicant will be required to attend one orientation session, which will last for approx. 90 minutes-two hours.

We will be conducting an interview during the orientation session to enable applicants to gain a feel for the atmosphere of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and to raise teamwork levels.
