Volunteering / Staffing

Staff Openings

We still have some staff / volunteer openings:

Security Team - 7 openings available.

Gaming Dept. Minions (arcade/console)- 5 openings available.

Tech Underlings - 7 openings available.

Logistics: Fulfillment - Looking for about 5 more minions to haul equipment and items to the correct placed for setup and tear down.

Registration - Looking for 2 people to be able to oversee registration under Beta.

Volunteers - infinite openings ^^;;

Other Positions - Just because it's not listed here doesn't mean you wouldn't be perfect for it. If you have a strong interest in doing *anything* for the convention, don't hesitate to apply.

All staff/volunteer positions are unpaid. The difference between staff and volunteers is that most staff don't have a real schedule unless requested. We expect staff to be self-motivated and work pretty much as much as it takes. Volunteers will be assigned things to do for a minimum of 12 hours for a full refund. If under 18, you will only be allowed to volunteer with parent's permission. If under 14 you will not be allowed to volunteer.
Email us for more details:

To apply for any staff or volunteer position, register for the convention, and then select "Staff/Volunteer" under "More Options"

Volunteer

Want to help out the con, but don't have the experience, or the desire to fill a staff position? Volunteers will get their registration fee refunded after working a minimum of 12 hours over the course of the 3-day convention. A volunteer can help with setup, tear-down, videoroom-sitting, registration desk, running panels, running a game in the tabletop area, and more. If you have a preference, our Volunteers Manager will try to place you where you'd like to be. We will also put pre-con advertising efforts with staff members towards your time (see next section). You must pay for your registration to volunteer. If you are interested in volunteering please email

Volunteers must fill out one of the following forms and hand it to a staff member before they will be allowed to volunteer.
Volunteer Contract Ages 18+
Volunteer Consent Form Ages 14-17

Pre-Con Advertising

We will be going to other conventions and anime events to try and bring in pre-registrations and spread the word about SNAFU con. If you would like to help with these efforts, we will count it towards your volunteer time. You may not even have to buy a badge if you put in all your hours before the con starts (easy to do)! If you are interested in volunteering please email .

Running Events

If you would like to run a panel or a game in the tabletop area, this can count towards your volunteering time.
To set up your panel, please email . To set up your game, please email .

After you've set up your panel or game, please also send an email to to ensure that your time is counted, thank you.

Staff

Do you desire more responsibility than the average volunteer? Do you have the drive to go out and get things done without a large amount of supervision? We are looking for staff members in almost every department. More information will be posted soon, but as we get going, keep a watch on the site for staff meetings, email to get on our staff email, and join the forums.

Too young?

No individual under 18 will be a staff member for the convention. However, if you are under 18, you may still volunteer with parental consent. Volunteers are welcome to attend staff meetings, and may be given assignments that will go towards their 10 hours.

Absolutely no minor under the age of 14 will be allowed to volunteer due to Nevada Labor Laws. Although it isn't exactly employment, we don't want to walk into any gray areas.

Minors ages 14-17 will be asked to have a release form signed by a parent or guardian before participating in any volunteer activities.
