The general training of the World Youth Festival Volunteer Corps was held from December 9, 2023, to February 6, 2024. More than 6,000 volunteer applicants were trained by WYF 2024 Volunteer Recruitment and Training Center trainers.

"Within two months, volunteers completed specialized courses at dobro.ru and full-time for 89 regions of the country. Our volunteer centers conducted trainings on team building, intercultural communication, Festival meanings, infrastructure and program, and the Code of Event Volunteering. We are grateful to the trainers who managed to rally and motivate the Volunteer Corps team on the eve of such an important event. I am sure that the volunteers will be able to fulfill their responsible mission and make a worthy contribution to the organization of the Festival," said Larisa Sulima, Deputy Director General for Regional Cooperation of the World Youth Festival Directorate.

The trainers of the WYF 2024 Volunteer Corps also taught the future volunteers how to interact with Russian and foreign guests of the Festival.

In early February, the final WYF 2024 Volunteer Corps will be formed and divided into 15 functional areas, from providing uninterrupted Festival services to medical services and foreign delegation services. After that, 4,000 volunteers will go to the World Youth Festival in the Sirius Federal Territory, and 1,000 city volunteers will welcome foreign guests and create an atmosphere of celebration and hospitality in Moscow.
