When you volunteer with us, you join a team of Managers, Coordinators, and other Staff and Volunteers who are passionate about working together to plan events, organize people, and help our attendees be safe. We are currently seeking people with a passion for fostering community who can manage time and resources effectively and communicate efficiently in high-energy environments.

Other Staff only work during events, but all staff must work a minimum number of hours in their role. To become Staff, Volunteers must be 16 years-of-age or older and harbour a professional mindset. Please tell us about any skills or experience you have when you apply.

Volunteers must commit at least 6 hours during the event and attend a Volunteer Orientation session. Volunteers are also required to purchase a valid pass for days they wish to volunteer, if applicable. Reimbursement is available based on the type of pass purchased and number of hours worked, as detailed below. You must be at least 14 years-of-age by August 8, 2020to volunteer for Animethon 27.
