Become a volunteer at World Masters Games
The largest group of volunteers ever recruited in Auckland will become a 4000-strong, highly visible, bright green-clad workforce during World Masters Games 2017 (WMG2017) in April.
The WMG2017 volunteer uniform – including a bright green cap, polo shirt, all weather jacket and green and black backpack – was unveiled last week.
The volunteer workforce, to be known as the 'Pit Crew', will be at the heart of the world's largest multi-sport event, which is expected to attract 25,000 participants to Auckland and Waikato.
Volunteers will be deployed at more than 50 venues including the 48 sports competition venues, the Opening Ceremony venue at Eden Park and the Games Entertainment Hub at Queens Wharf.
WMG2017 volunteer Ambassador and former All Blacks great Bryan Williams has already tried the uniform on for size and given it the thumbs up.
"The uniform is everything it should be – comfortable, functional and stylish," he says. "Importantly the uniform is highly visible and the design elements including the takarangi motif and distinctive green colour, also make it feel uniquely Kiwi."
