The 19th Gyeonggi-do Para Sports for All Festival will be held from September 12 to 13, and the 36th Gyeonggi-do Sports for All Festival will take place from September 26 to 28. Volunteers will be assigned to a variety of roles, including supporting the opening and closing ceremonies, providing guidance at each event venue, assisting with operations, and maintaining the environment, to help with the smooth running of the festivals on site.

Anyone aged 18 or older is eligible to apply as a volunteer, regardless of their place of residence. Youths aged 14 or older may participate if accompanied by a guardian. During the volunteer period, lunch and uniforms will be provided to all volunteers.

Those wishing to apply as volunteers can do so by July 25 (Thursday) through the Volunteer Center website (pajuvc.or.kr), or by visiting the Volunteer Center or the nearest Eup, Myeon, or Dong Administrative Welfare Center in person. For more details, please contact the Paju City Volunteer Center.

Kim Kyoungil, Mayor of Paju City, stated, "The Gyeonggi-do Sports for All Festival cannot be complete with only the athletes. It becomes a true festival only when volunteers quietly support and assist the athletes from behind the scenes," adding, "We look forward to the active participation of volunteers who will join us on this journey to create the Gyeonggi-do Sports for All Festival together."
