Their official uniform is made up of an eye catching green with navy accessories.
The items have all been labelled with the Guernsey 2023 logo and are said to be “comfortable and functional” with further pieces of kit to be provided including outdoor clothing.
More than 1,200 volunteers will be helping to stage the Games this July, led by Director of Volunteering, Wayne Bulpitt.
He will also be wearing the distinctive bright hue of the volunteer’s kit which has been designed to ensure they stand out in a crowd.

“It’s important that the volunteers are easy to spot,”he said, “because they are the friendly, helpful, welcoming ambassadors of Guernsey 2023. As well as being impossible to miss, we also needed a uniform that was versatile and comfy because the volunteers are performing such a variety of roles, from car park attending to giving out medals. I know that people will wear their uniform with pride.”
There are a number of volunteer roles still available including a signage coordinator, pre-Games administration helpers, sports announcers, team leaders for stewarding and marshaling, and baggage handlers at the Airport and Harbour.
Volunteers were given technology training on Saturday too, with a new app called MyImpact being used to keep everyone connect.
There will be further training sessions for volunteers in April and May with compulsory training, venue visits, and CPR lessons.
Communications and Events Director, Amanda Hibbs, said the real adventure is now underway and the Games themselves will be upon us very quickly.
“We feel very fortunate to have such an incredibly motivated group of volunteers, without them we couldn’t stage the Games.
“Their enthusiasm and selfless contribution sustain everything we do. They are our greatest ambassadors, and they are helping us to spread the word and get the whole Guernsey community excited.”
