Do you want to be a part of one of 2027’s biggest sporting events? 🚴♀️
Back in January, Leeds was confirmed to host the start of stage one of the Grand Départ of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift on Friday 30 July 2027. And today organisers have launched a drive to recruit volunteers who will play a crucial role for when the world’s biggest women’s professional cycle race comes to the city next year.
Volunteers, known as JOY Makers, will receive training for a range of roles, including event operations support and spectator engagement. Applications are open to anyone aged 16 or over, with no previous volunteering experience required. Volunteers aged between 18 to 25 will also be eligible for a Readiness to Work scheme, which will provide employability skills training and career mentoring across multiple sectors.
Applications for Tour de France Grand Départ 2027 are now open until Tuesday 1 September. To find out more and apply, visit the link 👉 Leeds https://monkeylink.co/85c9d3
