10-minute Tour and Experience
Saturday Only: To ensure that you have the best experience possible, each shift will begin with a brief 10-minute tour of the Summer Games. This tour will provide you with an overview of the event, the athletes' journey, and the importance of your role as a Volunteer 2 Cheer.
Friday Night: Come join the athletes, coaches, volunteers and other spectators at the 2026 Summer Games Opening Ceremony! We need Fans in the Stands to cheer loud and proud to help create the most amazing atmosphere. Plus, you might make some new friends while you are there!
