LA28 organizers revealed on Monday that it will open its application portal for 60,000 volunteer roles on July 14 for positions that will cover dozens of venues during the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles.

“As fans fill the seats and athletes take the global stage, behind every event, every venue and every moment is the LA28 Volunteer Crew,” LA28 CEO Reynold Hoover said. “Volunteers are the backbone of the Games. They are a friendly face who helps welcome the world, create memorable experiences and bring the Olympic and Paralympic spirit to life. Their passion and energy will help define LA28 for athletes, fans and communities across the region.”
Known as the “LA28 Volunteer Crew,” the legion of workers will be deployed in a extensive range of duties, including welcoming and guiding spectators and athletes, providing medical or language translation assistance and other specialized tasks.
Organizers say that the bulk of the volunteer roles will be based in the greater Los Angeles region, with others in cities like Oklahoma City, New York, Nashville, St. Louis, San Diego, San José, California and Columbus, Ohio where additional Olympic events will be held.
The first volunteer period will operate from March to August 2028 while shift for Paralympic Games run shorter from August to September 2028. All of the volunteers must commit to a minimum of 10 shifts within one period.
