Dear potential volunteers, 
EYOWF 2011, in similar fashion as with other major sporting events, could not be organised without the help of volunteers. At present, not only is recruitment in full swing, but at the same time the programme is being prepared which should ensure successful performance on the part of volunteers during the Festival. Our aim is to build a team of people enthusiastic about taking part in public affairs and contributing personally to the success of this extremely sporting and social event. We are aware of the fact that it is not possible to organise an event of this size and importance without a perfectly functioning team of volunteers. All large sport events organisations are built on volunteer work.
High-quality performance of the tasks and jobs the volunteers will be gradually trained in is particularly important for us, along with a quality working atmosphere, team spirit, making friends and sharing the joys of cooperation. For this reason, a complete training programme has been set up in order to educate EYOWF TEAM members in areas of cooperation, allow them to make the acquaintance of the organising team, as well as providing participants with the opportunity to get to know each other at meetings of a various nature.The seven days of EYOWF 2011 thus can turn into a real experience, a celebration and a festival not only of sports, but of friendship and mutually shared exceptional experience.
Age, sex, race, nor religion limits anyone to become a member of the volunteer team. The crucial feature is the will and effort to help achieve a common goal, honesty when fulfilling the function of a volunteer, and the ability to help, give advice, or sometimes just to give someone a smile.
If interested in taking part in the preparations and organisation of the event as a member of the EYOWF TEAM, please read the “Become one of us” section, where you can find full information, as well as the volunteer’s entry form. If you have any questions please contact vanda.sulcova@eyowf2011.cz or call +420 484 840 236.
Anybody can become a volunteer
All human beings have an inborn ability to freely and selflessly offer their knowledge, time and effort, and work as volunteers in the pursuit of both a public interest and for the advantage of other people and their surroundings. Virtually everyone is capable of something like that. The only difference is in the form and extent in which we are willing to do so. New friendships, knowledge, experience, and the realisation of your own and other people’s values become the real reward for the work you have done. Volunteer work brings benefit both to the person/s for which it is carried out and for the volunteer him/herself. Volunteer activities strengthen trust and mutual cooperation; when abroad, they support cultural learning. They are the fundamental feature of civic society, strengthening cultural identity, crossing the borders of states and languages, age and social groups, and the borders of our inner world.
