Volunteers FAQ
Is there a minimum or maximum age to become a volunteer?
There is a minimum age requirement: volunteers must be 18 years old on 1 January 2027 (i.e. born in 2008 or earlier). However, there is no upper age limit. All applications are welcome, and assignments will be adapted to volunteers’ skills, availability and interests.
Is catering provided during my volunteer shift?
Yes, everything is taken care of! On each day of your assignment, you will be provided with a full meal. Arrangements may vary from one venue to another, as we aim to work with local partners and adapt to the specific setup of each site.
Does becoming a volunteer include accommodation?
Unfortunately, no, we are not able to provide accommodation for all volunteers. However, some municipalities hosting the competitions may offer accommodation solutions. We are working on this on a case-by-case basis with each host city, and further information will be shared in due course.
Will I receive any support for public transport as a volunteer?
We hope so, and we are actively working towards it. Our ambition is to make local public transport free for volunteers, but this depends on external partners and is therefore not confirmed at this stage.
However, one thing is certain: travel expenses by private car will not be covered by the organisation.
Can I apply as part of a group (friends, family, etc.)?
Yes! You will be able to indicate this in the full application form in September 2026. In the meantime, all members of a group can simply pre-register.
What skills are required to become a volunteer?
None! We are looking for friendly, enthusiastic and motivated volunteers, but no specific skills are required. However, if you have particular skills, you will be able to indicate them in the full application form in September 2026, and they may be useful during the Championships.
In addition, all volunteers will receive general training as well as specific training related to their assigned mission before the event.
Finally, no language skills are strictly required: volunteers should ideally speak either French or English. Any additional languages are a bonus, although many volunteers will only speak French.
Can I indicate my preferences for my role and deployment location?
Yes, of course. These are questions you will be asked during your full application process in September 2026. We will then do our utmost to assign you a mission that matches your expectations and aspirations.
One thing is certain at this stage: no volunteer will be assigned to Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines unless they have expressed a wish to do so.
