For World Youth days, the involvement of voluntary helpers has always been a strategic element in the preparation, arrangement and celebration of the event.
Thinking of World Youth Day 2000 (GMG2000) we realize that Catholic volunteers, above all the young, are the ones able to provide the services essential for the an ordered and successful event in a way all their own and in the true spirit of the Day.
This means that for GMG 2000 we must find, organize and direct a large number of volunteers (at least 25,000 are estimated necessary) They will come mainly from Italian dioceses, associations, movements and groups. But we also expect, although less numerous, non Italian volunteers through various groups, Bishops’ Conferences, associations, movements, from other countries who must be put in the condition to work in unison, with the same operative style.
Voluntary work for the GMG 2000 is part of an overall Holy Year project for voluntary work, organized by the "Centro del Volontariato per l’accoglienza giubilare", the body in charge of directing voluntary work for the whole of the Jubilee year.
