I volunteered at the 2014 Games in Fairbanks and it was a fantastic experience. There are roles for pretty much everyone – you can help with logistics, athlete support, cultural events, or even timing and scoring for some of the sports. I ended up working with the dog mushing events and it was incredible to be that close to the action. The atmosphere is really friendly and you get to know people from all over the Arctic regions. Volunteers are treated well and you really feel like you're part of something meaningful. You can find all the information on volunteer roles and how to sign up at https://awg2014.org/. I'm actually thinking of volunteering again for Whitehorse. I definitely recommend it if you want to be more involved than just watching.
