We want London Ambassadors to be the face of today's London and to come from a range of backgrounds and communities.

There will be no such thing as a 'typical' London Ambassador. You might already volunteer regularly, or you may be new to volunteering. You might be studying, working, out of work, looking to return to work, or retired. You might be 16, you might be 60.

The minimum age for London Ambassadors is 16 (born on or before 1 January 1996).

Showing off your London

You must have a passion, enthusiasm and pride for London that easily rubs off on everyone else. Whether you were born in Bow, study in Stepney or work in Westminster, your excitement and affection for London will help bring the city to life for visitors in 2012.

You'll also have fantastic people skills. London Ambassadors must have the confidence, patience and resilience to communicate with people from all walks of life; from sports fans desperate to get to the Olympic Stadium, to families looking for a bite to eat on a budget.

If you're a people-person with a passion for London, and you can commit to six consecutive days of volunteering between 20 July and 10 September 2012, we want to hear from you.
