YOG Torch Bearer

Be a YOG Torchbearer

Call for YOG Torch Bearers from Singapore Youth Olympic Games Organising Committee:

Torchbearers are the ambassadors of the Olympic Flame - expressing the spirit of Olympism and inspiring others to embrace this ideal. A torchbearer for the Singapore 2010 JYOF must embrace, embody and express the Olympic values of Excellence, Friendship and Respect.

From 12 March to 15 April 2010, Singapore Citizens or Singapore Permanent Residents aged 12 years old and above (born on or before 1 January 1999) may apply to SYOGOC to be a Singapore 2010 JYOF torchbearer. They have to complete an online form at the Million Deeds Challenge website (www.milliondeeds.sg), and share how they live the Olympic values through deeds of Excellence, Friendship and Respect in their life.

About 560 torchbearers will be selected by random ballot through this channel, and SYOGOC will inform the selected torchbearers in June 2010.

In addition, SYOGOC is working with various communities in Singapore to select other torchbearers such as students and national servicemen. In all, about 85% of the torchbearers will be the public, both as individuals and members of the various communities.

Volunteer to be a YOG torch bearer now: I want to be a torch bearer!
