So I had a crazy idea! A light bulb moment at that. Not too long ago, I had blogged about healthcare opportunities that involve traveling. This time around, I'm looking into healthcare opportunities for...wait for it... THE OLYMPICS. It's a bummer that Chicago didn't win for hosting Olympics 2016 (not that I was hoping and praying that we would), because if we did, I would've been ALL over the opportunity to work for it.
What have I found? Well, London 2012 is currently planning their volunteer program in which they will be recruiting 70,000 volunteers to take part in London's Olympic and Paralympic Games. The bad news is, they're only recruiting volunteers from across the UK (although I'd give it a shot anyway). The good news? Well, they recruit volunteers for sport or medical training in which they will provide all the training at the highest standard!
I know what you're thinking...what's in it for us? We're in the US...not the UK. How do we get involved? I say...go for it anyway. Or if you're going to be London for whatever reason when their training program begins, lucky you! If not, wait for the Olympics at Rio de Janeiro, see if they have a volunteer program. But at least we know, it's out there!
Applications will open in 2012. For more information, click here.
Now this is what I call, thinking outside of the box: London 2012 edition!
