In order for a mass sporting event like the World Police & Fire Games to run smoothly and successfully, numerous factors must align perfectly.

How do you assemble the perfect team and recruit a multitude of volunteers to ensure the smooth running of a mass sporting event like the World Police & Fire Games? With thousands of volunteers needed to greet guests, take care of the athletes' well-being, and create a spirited atmosphere for everyone, the task may seem daunting. But for Samantha Swiridenko, and the team at the World Police & Fire Games, they had the right strategy and the right system in place to effectively recruit and communicate with volunteers weeks before the event.

Volunteers play a crucial role in the success of any major sporting event. Their enthusiasm, passion, dedication and support are invaluable in creating a positive and inclusive environment for athletes and spectators alike.
