 A dream is a sacred thing for all children. But imagine your dreams coming true as a child. Imagine being twelve years old and competing against hundreds and hundreds of kids from all across the world through sports in an International Olympic Committee endorsed event. And after it’s all said and done, you make friends with these competitors and make real connections with people from all across the world. Let’s contribute to their dreams!
Here's a quick summary.
• On July 10th to 15th, San Francisco will welcome 1400 athletes (ages 12 to 15), along with their coaches and city officials
• Approximately 90 cities from 50 different countries will be participating
• The athletes, both boys and girls, will put forth their personal best in 8 sports: basketball, soccer, swimming, tennis, track & field, table tennis, volleyball, and golf.
• Most of the sports venues will be held in the vicinity of Golden Gate Park (Sharon Meadows), University of San Francisco, and Kezar Stadium. Golf will be held at Harding Park near (Lake Merced).
• This NBC televised event has been endorsed by Mayor Gavin Newsom, Senator Dianne Feinstein, Senator Barbara Boxer, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and other leaders of our country.
You can participate in this exciting event by volunteering with ICG. We are actively trying to recruit 1,000 volunteers to cover all aspects and functions of this event. Examples of volunteer roles range from interpreters, sporting events, liaisons, food services, security, ceremonies as well as many other facets of the event.
Benefits of volunteering:
• Admission to the “Olympic – themed” Opening Ceremonies
• Admission to Festival Village – a recreational area with food, games, and entertainment
• Commemorative International Children’s Games T-shirt
• Shuttle service
• Free lunch
