Those who meet the conditions of volunteering at the Olympic Festival will be selected as volunteers.
According to Archil Ioseliani, coordinator of the sports department of the Department of Public Relations, Culture and Sports of GTU, students of the Georgian Technical University will be interested in the possibility of volunteering in the 2025 Winter Youth Olympic Festival and will take this task responsibly.
“In addition to the fact that the winter youth festival will remain an indelible memory for our students selected as volunteers, the skills and experience that the young people will acquire at the high-ranking tournament, as well as the certificate that will be issued to them, will certainly be useful in the future. Furthermore, volunteers will be provided with luxury branded sports clothes and accessories, the best living conditions, and food, and after the competitions, they will be able to engage in sports activities, have fun in the fun zones and recreational spaces, make new contacts, and make new Georgian and foreign friends. It is also important that the organizing committee constantly renews the volunteer bases and, depending on the need, will cooperate with trained volunteers in the future, and the best ones, as they mentioned, will be offered employment,” said Archil Ioseliani.
