Le Tour GB is seeking 9,000 volunteers across England, Scotland and Wales to take part in both races and jobs will also include helping spectators with road crossings, welcoming visitors, event management and community involvement. <\/p>\n

While most of the race takes part in the towns, cities, countryside<\/a> and mountains of France it often starts in a different country – this is known as the Grand Depart. <\/p>\n

Anyone aged 16 and over can apply to be a JOY Maker and there is also a “readiness to work” scheme for those aged 18 to 25 as part of its social impact programme.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson said the project would provide a “comprehensive package of employability skills, training and career-focused mentoring” for young people.<\/p>\n

Tracy Power, on behalf of JOY, said: “This is a truly unique volunteering offer and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to feel the buzz of being a part of a history-making event, while meeting new people and celebrating your local community.” <\/p>\n

The Tour de France men’s race famously began in Leeds in 2014, before covering a route that took in areas of the Yorkshire Dales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Le Tour GB is seeking 9,000 volunteers across England, Scotland and Wales to take part in both races…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":606964,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[4985,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-606963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-cycling","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=606963"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606963\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/606964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=606963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=606963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=606963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
