Due to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, volunteer opportunities on-site will be reduced with strict mitigation policies in place to ensure the health and safety of athletes and personnel. Please read the detailed information below and reach out to Cecelia.Bolin@usopc.org or Jenny.Ryan@usopc.org with any questions. The following protocols, designed by the USOPC’s Chief Medical Officer, are unlikely to be altered – even with updated CDC guidance or changes to local, county and state health mandates. The protocols are in effect for all volunteers, regardless of vaccination status.

The COVID-mitigation plan and event details will be shared with volunteers the first week of June. All volunteers will be provided an event t-shirt. Volunteer opportunities vary between the different sports. Track and Field will take place at Breck School and Cycling will be along West River Parkway near Gold Medal Park. The protocols do not allow for event crossover, so please registration to assist at one venue.
