The BOC is pleased to inform member federations and the general public that the International Olympic Committee in conjunction with the Bahamas Olympic Committee will once again host the Young Ambassadors (YA) Program on the occasion of the second edition of the Summer Youth Olympic Games (YOG), Nanjing 2014.
The primary role of the YA is to encourage the athletes to actively participate in a number of learning experiences that take place in parallel to the competition program. Building upon the lessons from Singapore and Innsbruck, the IOC/ BOC is convinced that the role of each YA is central to the success of the YOG and to offer a unique, life-changing experience to all participating athletes. In the true spirit of our YOG and BOC mission, we want to engage with young athletes and other young participants and inspire them to play an active role in their schools and communities.
The YA Program is open to any young, talented and dynamic man/woman aged between 18 and 25. This position will have a real “added value” before, during and after the YOG. The YA will be a valuable member of the BOC’s YOG team headed by Vice President BOC, Derron Donaldson. To turn this role into a successful contribution to Nanjing 2014, the Bahamas Olympic Committee have identified a number of key activities in which the YA should be involved:
Before the YOG
-
