Over 1500 young people from schools across the UK take part in 12 sports across several venues, including the Olympic Stadium, Olympic Velodrome, London Excel and the Aquatics Centre.
Helen Killingley of the London Youth Games Foundation, co-ordinators of the School Games volunteer programme said: For any volunteers, the 2012 School Games will be something really valuable to add to any CV and also promises to be an enjoyable, insightful and rewarding experience.”
