This isn’t just another workshop. This is the first step on a path that could take you all the way to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games—as a qualified, official volunteer.

This is your on-ramp to becoming an essential part of the weightlifting community. You won’t be doing this alone. You’ll be part of a growing network of passionate, driven volunteers. And who knows?
