Through CIVIC – Challenging Ismaili Volunteers in Communities – many young Ismailis were also able to play a role in the Olympics. The programme focuses the energy of Ismaili youth towards improving the wellbeing of the communities in which they live. It drew an enthusiastic response, with over 150 volunteers aged 18-25 signing up as youth ambassadors.
Senior members of the Jamat provide operational support at the volunteer headquarters, known locally as “the Hub.”
