A: Before the Olympic Games, BOCOG will regularly organize volunteers to carry out various activities, and regularly compile and issue special issues for volunteers. During the Olympic and Paralympic Games, we will provide insurance, uniforms, transportation, catering and other necessary working conditions for volunteers. At the same time, according to the service time and service effect, the volunteers will be rewarded appropriately. Give special rewards to volunteer groups, individuals and volunteer service projects that have made outstanding contributions and performed well. After the Olympic Games, volunteers will be evaluated, commended and commemorated.
The encouragement and recognition of Olympic volunteers is mainly based on spiritual encouragement, which can stimulate the volunteers' inner enthusiasm, maintain their high work enthusiasm and make them gain valuable and pleasant work experience.
