BEIJING, June 19 - Organizers of the 2008 Olympic Games have launched a larger volunteer recruitment campaign after the applications outnumbered the quota1 of Olympic volunteers.

 

More than 530,000 people have applied2 to work as a Games volunteer while less than one fifth is needed, but officials say that those also-rans may be recruited as a "City's Volunteer", who will be working at designated spots across the city to ensure the smooth progress of the Games and regular operations of the city during the Games.

 

"Many will be rejected during the selection of Games volunteers. But if they agree, they could also provide voluntary service as a City's Volunteer during the 2008 Olympics and Paralympics," Liu Jian, head of BOCOG's volunteers department, told a press conference on Monday.

 

According to the Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2008 Olympics (BOCOG), some 500 service stations will be set up across the city during the Aug. 8-24, 2008 Games and 400,000 volunteers for urban services will be needed in such areas as information, emergency response and translation.

 

The deadline for submitting applications is June 2008. According to BOCOG, applicants3 must be born before June 30, 1994, and anyone who is under 18 years old needs his legal agent's consent.
