Becoming an Official AIM Volunteer
for the World Equestrian Games

The Games will require up to 10,000 Official Volunteers. In addition, AIM will need many hundreds for the AIM activities outside the Horse Park. There are openings for people with particular skills as well as general willingness to help.

Emphasis for AIM volunteers is in bringing the grace of God alongside people visiting for the Games and in building relationships. Our hope is that those relationships will result in people having more interest in getting to know God or knowing Him better. Our goal is to honor God and share His love by Christian hospitality and helpfulness.

Some of the activities include:
• Community Events: in Paris, Georgetown, Versailles and Lexington - equine, cultural, hospitality, etc.
• Prayer: Coordinating teams, materials, prayer walking and special prayer meetings.
• Creative Arts: Music, puppets, mimes, clowns, drama, story telling.
• Home Hosting: Providing homes for families of athletes, workers and volunteers. (This team will develop procedures for enlisting homes - and screening and training to ensure that everyone is safe and comfortable.)
• Providing meals for people staying at churches, campgrounds, and other locations.
• Runners, traveling from one site to another with info, supplies, and workers.
• Transportation of people from bus stops to churches, homes, and events.
• Language translation (there will be people from 50+ countries)
• Staffing booths in various locations (Spotlight Lexington, International Equestrian Festival, Equine Village, Festival of the Horse, etc.)
• Donation volunteers, making personal donations and organizing donation activities, such as at their Vacation Bible Schools.

As we get closer to the event, the specific jobs available will be detailed. Volunteers will be able to choose the job and shifts that work best into their schedule and interest. All AIM volunteers will be required to submit to background checks and take evangelistic training and other training determined by the volunteer work they will be doing.

Volunteers will be provided official AIM-insignia shirts or other "uniforms" as appropriate, as well as other perks that can be arranged.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to interact with horse lovers from so many horse sports and countries.
