Volunteers

The volunteer department handles volunteers. Volunteers are the lowest Ranks rank of convention staff and are not considered to be “staff” for consideration of staff perks or recognition. (See Volunteers vs. Staff) However, volunteers are still extremely important to the convention. Volunteering is a great way for people to prove themselves and rise through ranks.

Volunteers are required to pay to attend the convention as general attendees. Some departments will have volunteers which are dedicated to that department, although most volunteers will be assigned all around the convention as needed.

Volunteers can be refunded based on the hours that they log for the convention. Volunteers will only be refunded up to the amount that they paid for their registration. As of 2014, any hours logged over the minimum 12 will count towards the following year. (See Registration Policies)

• Volunteers must be a minimum of 14 years of age.
• All volunteers under 18 must have a parent or guardian sign a permission form (link)
