LOS ANGELES :Los Angeles 2028 on Thursday launched a volunteer program that invites residents to sign up for community service events ahead of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, with details on Games-time roles to come in 2026.

LA28 says the early start is designed to build a volunteer culture well before the Opening Ceremony and expand the region's volunteer base. Residents can register their interest at LA28.org.

LA28 CEO Reynold Hoover told Reuters the program aims to harness the city's "spirit of volunteerism" well before the Opening Ceremony, positioning Los Angeles as a model for future hosts.
