Working for the Youth Olympics

The next Winter Youth Olympic Games will be in Gangwon, South Korea in 2024 and the 2026 Summer Youth Olympics will take place in Dakar, Senegal.

The 2010 Singapore Youth Olympics were the first of its kind, allowing children ages 14-18 the chance to compete in an elite sporting event cross-culturally. The Youth Olympics attracts hundreds of thousands of spectators who watch 4,000 athletes compete in 26 sports.

Additionally, nearly 20,000 local and international volunteers contribute.

The Youth Olympic Games are for Teens Ages 14 - 18

There will be paying Youth Olympics jobs too.

As you might expect the Youth Olympics will be a large event and requires a great deal of planning, a great deal of which is already underway. As you might expect Summer Olympics jobs and Youth Olympics jobs are similar: event administration, security, press, technology, language services, medical, construction, labor, transportation and press operation jobs in addition to volunteer positions are needed.

For news, ticket information, blogs, venue information, scheduling and press regarding the games, check out the Youth Olympics webpage.
