Volunteering
There simply would not be a Transplant Games if it weren’t for the hundreds of volunteers who never fail to put their hands up to support us. It is with gratitude that we welcome and thank the people from many walks of life who join us every two years.
Volunteers have acclaimed the Games as a truly moving and life changing experience. The unique atmosphere the Games create and its participants are unforgettable.
There are many roles to undertake as a volunteer. Every skill, even if it’s a friendly smile, is enough to help make these Games a living breathing success.
Current Volunteer Roles Needed
We are looking for 2 volunteer drivers to take 2 of these buses to and from Sydney to Canberra.
If you have the right bus licence you can even take your family or friends along for a free ride.
Registration
To be a volunteer at the Games you have to register online using the same registration system as the athletes. Just be sure to select ‘volunteer’. (coming in February 2010)
Transport
Volunteers will have full access to Games transport services (minibuses). If you chose to drive your own car, you can arrange a deal through BP for a fuel voucher.
“If you’re a not-for-profit volunteer and you use a vehicle to undertake your volunteering activities, we want to hear from you. You could be awarded with free BP fuel to help you in your volunteering work”.
Orientation
All volunteers will receive an information booklet before they start at the Games.
On Friday 1 October there will be an orientation for all office staff volunteers to learn the ropes of the systems etc.
On the Saturday 2 October 2010 there will be an Orientation for sport coordinators and their appropriate volunteers, and a step-through of what will be required. There will also be orientation for medical volunteers and other areas such as transport and information desks, registrations and other areas of need.
‘Tip of Hat’ BBQ
To say thank you for all your hard work there will be a post ‘Top of the Hat’ BBQ for all volunteers. Location and time to be confirmed.
