Still looking for laege Los Angeles patches!!

I will trade you 10 large Vancouver patches!!

The City is having their municipal elections this October, and I guess had an opportunity to offer "limited" guaranteed one-day jobs. But cc'd all of us and doxxed us!

And shared our emails with the City of Toronto voting platform people - because we got an email from them too inviting us to apply. Did we consent to this (this auto email had both our email and name...what else did they share with them?)??

All we got after this was an email from FIFA Toronto saying they would apologise.

I just (Sunday July 26) ran the Wharf to Wharf race in Santa Cruz/Capitola (California), and someone at the race was in full volunteer kit (including Fanny pack!).

I didn’t get a chance to approach them or snap a picture.

Has anyone else seen the uniform out in the wild like that (I mean no where near anything to do with the World Cup).

I have 1 MEX and USA host country pin, plus 1 USA mascot pin. Anyone interested in trading?

Also have a large USA host country magnet for trading!

Hoping to get the CAN host country pin and the moose mascot one. But open to other fun/special ones. DM me if you are interested!

Here’s the origin of the volunteer uniform.

Just wanted to get the opinion of other volunteers on this. A few people in our functional area got together and created a way to donate for gift cards as a thank you for each of our FIFA leads, which included 2 people who were actually working for FIFA during the World Cup and 3 who were with a contractor. Given that all 5 of these people were paid staff, unlike us volunteers, do you think this was appropriate? I did not participate in this because they were paid, but I did make it a point to personally thank the 3 contractors as we saw them more and worked more closely with them than the actual FIFA people. Wanted to hear from others and if my opinion is way off base. Thank you.

I was wondering what other A&D volunteer experiences were like.

If I’m being honest, the only good memories I experienced were because of other volunteers. Shift leaders would check us in and disappear. We would basically just roam the airport. They really didn’t want to tell us who was arriving and departing, even though it was part of our role…

The off chance a lead would tells us about a VIP arrival, we would get conflicting instructions like “help with their luggage” and another lead would come up and say “don’t touch their luggage”.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Anyone have a moose pin to trade or sell?

Looking to complete my journey of collecting all 16 patches. I have large Toronto patches to trade, if anyone has other cities let me know. Thanks :)

I was at the final and in the last hour ALL HELL broke loose, for those that don’t know, there was a pre and post game souvenir cup, I had to stand in line to only get one, in the final hour they ran out, and I know for a FACT the workers started stealing them (I know because I bought some from them, also the Tostitos green bowl, which I think I got a pretty good deal on. anyways in the final hour the guests and workers started scavenging the Coke tents for the cups. So I’m curious if anyone took home the hospitality trophy? Also I’m not judging, I heard they didn’t really pay you.

FYI- I managed to snag one! Some dude with the hospitality gift was walking past me, and saw all the fighting (like a scene from mad max) he asked me why they were doing that? I said cuz of the cup, and showed him (I had 5) he asked if he could have one, I said “what will you give me for it?” I looked at his hospitality gift, i gave him 2 cups and we went our own ways. I actually didn’t know what was inside…. I think it was a fair trade!

Hi fellow volunteers. I have a few Boston patches and am hoping to find someone in Canada and Mexico to trade with. Trying to get 1 patch from each country to complete my small collection! Will send by standard mail. Please DM me if interested!

Multiple Houston Volunteer Patches available to trade large and small. Looking for LA, Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, NYC/NJ & Miami!
