The Georgia Games is mandated by the state to host events for the people of Georgia, but it has become more than that. It has become a community wide event that has brought hundreds of cities across the state together for a common goal, to enhance amateur athletics in the state of Georgia. Georgians have not only embraced our programs by competing but by volunteering also. In 2000 more than 3,500 people from across the state donated their time and talent to make the Georgia Games a success. To keep the momentum going, the Games are always recruiting Georgians who want to get involved and make a difference in their community.
Volunteers work in many different areas.
Following is a brief description of duties for a few areas. The next newsletter will include descriptions of other areas. This is the largest category of volunteers. Approximately 3,500 people are needed to assist in running the 48 Championships sports. Volunteers are assigned by sport and assist in all aspects of the event.
