Volunteer Orientation & Training

Volunteer Orientation & Training (o/t) is crucial to the success of the Games! O/T will be conducted in a comprehensive manner ensuring that all volunteers are well-trained and empowered to carry out their duties and tasks for this first-ever National event.

Proper training of volunteers stems from concern for the well-being and safety of athletes participating in the National Games. Thoroughly and properly trained volunteers equals a smooth operation, empowered personnel making informed decisions, and a satisfying experience with will encourage and prompt further involvement within the program.

Volunteer Online Orientation & Training

The Volunteer Management team has made the Orientation & Training available for volunteers who are unable to attend the in-person sessions in June. Volunteers will need to read through the Orientation & Training manual, then submit the required information for our team to review for completion. Consider the process complete unless you hear from a member of the Volunteer team.

We hope you enjoy your time in Ames and look forward to a very rewarding volunteer experience.
