From supporting athletes on venue during competition, through to being a welcoming and friendly face to hundreds of thousands of spectators and media, volunteers will be at the heart of the action next year when the Games return to Glasgow from 23rd July to 2nd August.
Glasgow 2026 is calling for people to ‘Get In!’ and support the host city to bring the Games to life, encouraging former volunteers and first-time applicants from all backgrounds across Glasgow, Scotland and the UK to apply. It’s good news for those who turned 16-years-old by 1st September 2025 as the minimum age has been lowered.
No experience is necessary, and full training will be provided so that volunteers can help the Games run seamlessly. Glasgow 2026 is also offering support to those with barriers to digital access through a partnership with Glasgow Libraries and its DigiPals programme, and Volunteer Glasgow and Skills Development Scotland are hosting drop-in sessions to guide people through the application form.
