Become a volunteer

The festival and WYD are also an adventure in service. Join the team that prepares the event and brings it to life: welcoming participants, logistics, activities, technical support… Your time and your talents can make the difference.

  • Ages 18–35
  • Conversational English
  • The festival or Seoul

Two ways to serve

Choose your ground

  • Festival volunteer

    From 28 July to 2 August 2027, arriving one to two weeks earlier to help set up the site.

    A week of service, community and celebration at the heart of the festival.

  • WYD volunteer, in Seoul

    From 3 to 8 August 2027.

    Serving, welcoming pilgrims and shaping an unforgettable experience for thousands of young people from all over the world.

What it takes

The requirements

  • Being aged 18 to 35.
  • Conversational English — it is the main language of the festival.
  • Being available for the whole period you choose, including the set-up for the festival.

How to start

Just write to us

Send an email to contact@wyd2027.org with Volunteering as the subject.

Tell us who you are, which period interests you — the festival, WYD in Seoul, or both — and what you can do. The team will come back to you with the details.

Not to be confused

Volunteer or participant?

These are two separate paths. Volunteering is requested by email, as above. If you want to come as a participant, what you need is pre-registration, and the cost is set out on the Prices page.
