The World Equestrian Games (WEG) will be held at the Kentucky Horse Park from September 25th to October 10th, 2010. This will be the largest equine event ever held in the United States, and the largest sporting event ever held in Kentucky.  It will also be the largest sporting event in the U.S. since the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.  More than 500 athletes and 600 horses will come from 50+ countries to compete in eight disciplines – dressage, driving, endurance, eventing, reining, para-equestrian, show jumping and vaulting. 

We are exited to have an opportunity to help out with the World Equestrian Games (WEG). Volunteers are the face of the Games and influence the experience of the people who attend.  Our goal is to be of service by helping visitors from the U.S. and around the world to have a quality experience. 

There are two ways in which churches and people can participate: 

• As an official WEG volunteer working at the Kentucky Horse Park or staging areas for people going to/from the park.  Official WEG volunteers must be 18 years of age or older.  If you sign up as an official WEG volunteer, be sure to type AIM in the blank that asks you if you are part of any organization.) WEG volunteers will receive information directly from WEG staff.   Click here for official WEG volunteer information.
• As an AIM volunteer working before and during the time of the Games.  Click here for AIM volunteer information.

As soon as jobs have been defined, an email listing them will be sent to people who have signed up as either WEG volunteers or AIM volunteers. Volunteers will have the opportunity to choose the jobs and shifts they would like to work. 

Every effort will be made to help with locating housing, transportation, etc. for volunteers. A project like this has an enormous number of moving parts, and the answers to many of your questions aren’t available yet. By signing up as a volunteer, though, you’ll have access to the latest information as soon as it’s available. 

It will be exciting to be in Kentucky during this special event. But even if you are not going to the games, you can still be an official AIM volunteer by being on the prayer team.   As you can imagine, prayer is needed to help us prepare for and coordinate so many people.
