Job Descriptions

Farewell Day

Volunteers who work for farewell day are in for a treat as they create a lively sendoff for athletes and their delegations.  Expect to see the athletes upbeat, wearing their medals, showing off their pin collections and excited to be headed home from their great adventure.

You will be greeting athletes as they step off their buses in the North Lot of the airport. You’ll help them remove their luggage from underneath the bus and then assist them in their needs either finding their gates or simply checking luggage in place.

You should expect to be able to walk and be on your feet for at least 4 hours, lift and move luggage and have great enthusiasm.
