Volunteer
The nationwide search is on to find 9,000 volunteers across Scotland, England and Wales, who will be at the heart of the historic Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift Grands Départs in summer 2027.
Officially known as JOY Makers, named in line with Grand Départs GB’s social impact programme, volunteers will be the heartbeat of both races, bringing the joy of cycling to fans and communities throughout the six stages, and helping to ensure the sport’s most iconic races runs seamlessly.
You can apply online to be a JOY Maker for any of the six stages of the 2027 Grands Départs, with registration open until Tuesday 1 September 2026.
Who can apply
Anyone aged 16 and over is encouraged to apply to be a JOY Maker, with no prior volunteering experience needed to share in this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
For those aged 18-25, there's also an opportunity to get involved in the Readiness to Work Programme which will offer young people a chance to get career-ready with employability skills training and mentoring while being part of a major sporting event.
Roles available
There are a wide variety of opportunities available covering race delivery, spectator support and event operations.
