The Longines Masters wouldn’t be the same without our dedicated volunteers!
Experience with horses is not a requirement; we’re simply looking for outgoing, dependable, energetic people over the age of 18 who can provide great customer service and help us to make this an outstanding event.

VOLUNTEER POSITIONS
Below are brief descriptions of some of the jobs done by our amazing volunteers!

Main Entrance: These volunteers will be the face of the Longines Masters of
Los Angeles! They will get to welcome our guests when they first enter the
event and direct them to all our exciting shops, activities, competitions, and
concessions.

Information Table: Volunteers at our Information Table will also help our guests to feel welcome and knowledgeable while enjoying our event’s many offerings. They will answer questions, provide directions within the event, and sell our official Longines Masters of Los Angeles programs. The table is directly adjacent to the warm-up paddock and right in the middle of the action! There will also be opportunities to volunteer at information tables off-site at the riders hotel near the event.

Paddock Crossings: We depend on these volunteers to ensure the safety of
our guests while crossing the path that the horses take from the barn to the
warm-up paddock and the paddock to the competition arena. You will be
responsible for blocking pedestrians from crossing the path while horses
are entering and exiting the competition arena and the paddock.
We ask that these volunteers have experience with horses.

In-Gate: This position will see competition from a very unique vantage point!
These volunteers will be responsible for opening and closing the competition
arena in-gate before and after each competitor and will get to work very closely
with event staff. This position requires experience with horses.

Grandstand Usher: These volunteers will have the opportunity to escort guests
to their seats. You will help ensure that guests are able to find their seats in a timely
manner so as not to miss any of the exciting competition, and making sure they
have their correct seats.

Organization Office: Volunteers will be working in the organization office and
be hands-on with the running of a major international sporting competition! You
will do everything, including answer phones, guide guests who visit the office,
answer questions, check-in and check-out the walkie-talkies for organization
staff, and distribute food tickets to staff, among other things. .

Accreditation: Volunteers will assist with the athlete accreditation process by
learning the software and printing badges for riders, riders’ guests, and event
staff. Computer experience required.

Print Room:
Volunteers will assist with printing start lists, results, and announcements and
distributing them to guests, press, and VIP before each competition. You will
get to interact with many different people with many different jobs at the event.

Runners: These volunteers will see every part of the event! Runners will run
errands within the event for organization staff and deliver items and information
to various people throughout the event as needed.

General Maintenance: These volunteers are responsible for ensuring the warm-up paddock,
competition areas, and paths to the barn stay clean and orderly. You will also be helping us
keep our sponsors happy by making sure their signs stay clean and visible.

Long Beach Volunteers: In addition to the Information Tables at the event we need volunteers in the Long Beach area to occupy information tables at local events leading up to the competition. Volunteers will help distribute information about the event to the Long Beach community and help residents become more aware of the upcoming event. Volunteers should have a good deal of knowledge about the Masters and the sport in general to adequately represent the event. This position may require the volunteer to work weekday afternoons and/or weekends to attend community events.

Tour Guides: Volunteers who want to have one-on-one interaction with event attendees might enjoy volunteering as a Tour Guide. Charged with showing attendees the main attractions and providing knowledge about the event in general, Tour Guides will have the important task of leading attendees -- both new and old to the equestrian world-- into the world of The Masters.

MUST BE 18 YEARS OR OLDER TO VOLUNTEER.
