 In the summer of 2008, from July 10 through 15, San Francisco will be hosting the 42nd annual International Children’s Games (ICG). The ICG, founded in 1968 and endorsed by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), was established to promote peace and goodwill through children and their involvement in athletics.
Here's a quick summary.
• San Francisco will welcome 1500 athletes (ages 12 to 15), along with their coaches and city officials
• Endorsed by: The International Olympic Committee, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, U.S. California Senator Barbara Boxer, U.S. California Senator Dianne Feinstein, Mayor Gavin Newsom (Honorary Committee member), etc.
• 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. These venues are within a brief walking distance of each other. Golf will be held at the Fleming Golf Course (at Harding Park near Lake Merced).
You can be a part of this by becoming a volunteer manager! Currently we are looking for people with volunteer AND management experience. You do not need to have expertise in these areas. But it would help. Current positions open:
• Volunteer Recruiter
• Security
• Transportation
Full participation is expected for the week of ICG from July 10 through July 15, 2008. Lastly, since this is an international Olympic event involving children, we require a background check of all volunteers and staff.
