(IN BRIEF) 57 young French people from diverse backgrounds are participating in a year-long civic program, named “Generation 2024,” set up by Paris 2024, the French National Olympic and Sports Committee, and the Civic Service Agency. They work as volunteers with National Olympic and Paralympic Committees on 5 continents, promoting the practice of sport and its social impact. The program is co-funded by the International Olympic Committee and others, and is part of Paris 2024’s goal to support 30,000 Civic Service Generation missions by 2024. The program offers opportunities for young people aged 16-25 to find their place in Paris 2024. 33 volunteers will embark on this adventure in 2023, with representatives from 33 countries on 5 continents. Before departure, volunteers receive a week of training from Paris 2024 and CNOSF to complete their missions. The experience will contribute to the heritage of Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games and can be highlighted in applications for the Paris 2024 Volunteer Program.
(PRESS RELEASE) PARIS, 30-Jan-2023 — /EuropaWire/ — Paris 2024, the French National Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSF), and the Civic Service Agency are proud to announce the launch of the 2024 Civic Service Generation program. This program offers a unique opportunity for 57 young French people from all backgrounds to live a civic experience all over the world within the Olympic and Paralympic Movement.
The program is co-financed by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the French-speaking NOC Association (AFCNO), and the French Civic Service Agency, and with the support of the French Paralympic and Sports Committee (CPSF). It aims to contribute to the target of 30,000 Civic Service Generation 2024 missions by 2024.
Young people aged 16 to 25 (up to 30 for people with disabilities) can participate in the program and carry out volunteering missions in National Olympic Committees and National Paralympic Committees on five continents. In 2022, 24 young people took part in the program, and 33 volunteers will participate this year.
The selected volunteers are a reflection of today’s youth, representing all levels of qualifications, backgrounds, and regions of France. They are trained for a week by Paris 2024 and the CNOSF, giving them all the tools to complete their mission and create projects with their host structure.
During their missions, volunteers participate in a wide variety of general interest projects aimed at promoting Olympic and Paralympic values and culture, strengthening the practice of sport, and enhancing the role of sport for sustainable development. These missions will contribute internationally to the heritage of Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Most of the 2022 volunteers were able to value their experience and their commitment to finding a job or continuing their studies. One volunteer was hired by the French Badminton Federation, and another joined Paris 2024 on a permanent contract.
The 57 young people participating in the 2024 Civic Service Generation program will have the opportunity to highlight their experience in Civic Service as part of their application for the Paris Games 2024 Volunteer Program. Their selection and assignment will be known at the end of 2023.
Célia, volunteer for the Civic Service at the Danish NOC in 2022: “In January 2022, I made the decision to go and live in one of the happiest countries in the world. The NOC in Denmark welcomed me and this is how a great professional and human adventure began. In Scandinavia, where the culture of sport is very strong, I feel that I have developed my approach to interculturalism. At the end of this mission, I joined the organization of Paris 2024 to manage the follow-up of the European National Paralympic Committees in preparation for the Games. I want my experience within the NOC in Denmark to be beneficial to the other European committees so that their athletes can shine in 2024.”
Aline, volunteer in Civic Service at the NOC of Canada in 2022: “I left Brittany to join the NOC of Canada, based in Montreal, in July 2022. I had the chance to work with a dynamic and ambitious team in which I am fully integrated. We work to strengthen the relation with Canadian Indigenous communities while organising of sporting events. I have learnt a lot about myself and how to be proactive. I hope to be able to volunteer for the NOC of Canada during Paris 2024.”
Emilie, volunteer at the NOC of Tanzania in 2023: “Just graduated, looking for an enriching experience, I decided to join the NOC of Tanzania for a 12-month 2024 Civic Service Generation mission. At the end of January 2023, I will join the Tanzanian National Olympic Committee team in Dar es Salaam. In order to experience a cultural, linguistic, social and sporting practice, I will fly to East Africa to promote the Olympic values to young audiences. In a year, I hope to get back to my region, in Guadeloupe, with my suitcases full of new memories, experiences, tools, and skills to pursue my professional career in the field of international cooperation. »
João Manuel Da Costa Alegre Afonso, President of the NOC of Sao-Tomé-et-Principe, welcomed a volunteer in 2022: “For the 2024 Ambassador program, we welcomed two great volunteers, Mégane and Sarah, with whom we shared a remarkable experience, both on a cultural and a professional level. They worked with us on projects such as Sport for Life or Women’s Day, and started the school sports project, which is very close to our hearts. It was a great experience and we hope to welcome more volunteers in our country and in our NOC”.
Tony Estanguet, President of Paris 2024: “Thanks to 2024 volunteers Generation, the energy of the Games and the belief that sport changes lives are shared across five continents. And in return, these missions will change the lives of these young people who are committed and open to the world. Thank you to the NOCs, CNPs and French-speaking Unions who trust us and allow this generation of 2024 to live a unique Olympic and Paralympic experience, which will train them in the best conditions to become a volunteer during the Games! »
Brigitte Henriques, President of the CNOSF: “Committing to an international Civic Service mission represents a exceptional opportunity for our youth and our sports movement. This is a perfect example of the power of sport as a tool for education and inclusion. I would like to congratulate once again the 33 new ambassadors of the 2024 Generation Ambassadors program, who, through their commitment, will represent these values of openness and solidarity that are so important to us. Thank you also to all our Olympic and Paralympic teams for their trust and their involvement with the volunteers».
Nadia Bellaoui, President of the Civic Service Agency: “The employees of the 2024 Generation Civic Service will live a unique experience. They will convey the values of Olympism internationally and test their actions for accessibility and inclusion of the practice of sport. No doubt this generation is shaping a lasting gaming legacy! “.
