Volunteers are the backbone of the prestigious championships like these contributing directly to the success of the event.

Heather Sanford, a volunteer in the 2019 World Para Nordic Ski Championships, shares her experience: “Volunteering in 2019 was an experience I’ll always cherish. Being so close to the action and witnessing the determination of the athletes was inspiring. It was more than just volunteering; it was about being part of something bigger, a celebration of human spirit and resilience. I encourage everyone to get involved in 2024 – it’s an opportunity you won’t want to miss.”
