A nationwide search is underway for 9,000 volunteers to be at the heart of the historic Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift Grand Départs in the UK in July 2027.
Around 1,000 volunteers will be needed in Wales for the third stage of the men's race on 4 July. The stage starts in Welshpool, passes through iconic landscapes, scenic valleys and bustling town centres, before finishing in Cardiff.
Applications close on 1 September 2026: The Tour de France is coming to Wales - Volunteering Wales.
Anyone aged 16 and over is encouraged to apply, no prior experience is needed and full training is provided. Those aged 18 to 25 will also be eligible for the Readiness to Work scheme, offering employability skills training and career-focused mentoring.
Officially known as JOY Makers, volunteers will help to ensure these iconic events run seamlessly, bringing the joy of cycling to fans and communities across all six stages. A range of roles are available across both tours to support event operations and enhance the spectator experience.
The Welsh Government will work with the Wales Council for Voluntary Action to ensure volunteering for the Tour can open doors to further opportunities across Wales.

More and more people are doing things to support their local community and they want to see that the businesses they deal with are equally involved and doing the same.
Employees that volunteer often learn new skills too, particularly in areas such as time management, communication, influencing, decision-making and leadership skills and bring these back to the workplace.
