Volunteer at the LA28 Olympic Games
 
US Sailing members and friends are invited to apply to serve as Games-time volunteers for the LA28 Olympic Games.

Volunteers must be at least 18 years old at the time of application, proficient in spoken and written English, and available to complete a minimum of 10 non-consecutive shifts during the Olympic Games volunteer period.

The online application takes approximately 30 minutes to complete and includes questions about your skills, experience, and interests.
