Volunteers

With any convention – but particularly with a home-grown, grass roots con like TsunamiCon – volunteers are the life blood of the event.  It’s the volunteers who help run events, direct traffic, take tickets, answer questions, and help us keep an eye out for attendees in need.  TsunamiCon needs volunteers for various stations throughout the weekend, and we can help divide your time to help you get the most enjoyment out of the convention!

Volunteers must be at least 14 years of age and, unless you make special arrangements with our coordinating staff, may be employed for services as needed.

Volunteers earn credit toward discounts on TsunamiCon badges. Volunteers must agree to the terms of service and submit an application. The required commitment for each discount is as follows:

4 HOURS – $15 discount on any one badge
8 HOURS – $25 discount on any one badge
12 HOURS – Free Weekend Pass (or $50 off a VIG Pass)

To secure your badge in advance, select your badge with the appropriate discount. Then, review the available shifts and complete the application.

If you have any questions, contact us at info@tsunamicon.org.
