The representative of INJUV was happy with the opportunity to be part of Santiago 2023, and pointed out that “this is a privilege because it’s a national milestone that will allow us to involve a huge quantity of young people to promote sports and Chile’s image. We also want to show the importance of mental health from sports, the diversity of disciplines that will be present, and the experience of volunteering. This is our motivation and inspiration.”

In addition, Gianna Cunazza complemented the above, indicating that “one of our objectives is getting youth close to the Games, because the Games are for all.

In this sense, she indicated that “INJUV opens the door to Chilean youth to be volunteers in Santiago 2023, something that will sum all the energies, optimism, courage, and amazing spirit. It’s said that volunteers are the soul of any sporting event, and the truth is that they’re, their work is essential.”
