The anticipation for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic and Paralympic Games is on the rise. To engage the community, LA28 has introduced a volunteer program aimed at encouraging local participation. This initiative provides Angelenos with unique opportunities to be part of this international celebration.
LA28 Volunteer Program Overview
On Thursday, LA28 announced its volunteer program, which will allow residents to contribute to the event in two main ways. The program aims to involve locals before the Games commence and will expand as the 2028 events draw closer.
Volunteer Opportunities and Roles
Residents will have the chance to volunteer across various locations in greater Los Angeles. This includes engaging in activities that happen in the lead-up to the Games, with an expanded set of roles available once the competitions begin in 2028.
- Volunteering opportunities before the Games
- Expanded roles during the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games
- Community engagement events across Los Angeles
Future Developments
LA28 plans to release further details regarding volunteer positions in 2026. This early launch reflects the committee’s commitment to foster community involvement well ahead of the event.
“We want to tap into Los Angeles’ resilience, generosity, and grit by initiating volunteerism now,” stated LA28 CEO Reynold Hoover. According to Hoover, this initiative seeks to leave a lasting legacy for both the city and the Olympic Games.
Building a Stronger Community
The goal of this volunteer program is not only to support the Games but also to strengthen community bonds. It serves as a catalyst for residents to give back and work collaboratively across different neighborhoods. This effort aims to unite Angelenos in building a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere as the city prepares for a global stage.
Residents interested in volunteering can register their interest online. This initiative by LA28 opens up pathways for meaningful engagement in the lead-up to what promises to be an extraordinary event in 2028.
