Volunteer at Con
Thanks for your interest in volunteering or staffing! We at Anime Detour always need willing and helpful volunteers to make the convention run smoothly. 🙂 If you would like to become involved with Anime Detour there are a few things you should know:
All staff and volunteers are required to be registered members of the convention. This means get your registration submitted and paid for! Signing up to volunteer does not automatically register you for the con nor does it entitle you to a free membership!
We have a lot of people who want to volunteer. Please, be specific in what you want to do! We appreciate your enthusiasm, but without any ideas where people want to be or what skills they bring makes it very difficult to place them. If you really have no idea, volunteer as a badger or gopher!
If you wish to become more active in the convention planning, then please attend some of our meetings. Meetings:[Info].
We all know that there are benefits to volunteering. It makes you feel better; it can boost your mood; and you can also earn some free stuff. The Volunteer Department has come up with a system in order to reward you for your work.
You will receive a prize every 2 hours of volunteering!!!!Â
Volunteer 6 hours to receive the year’s exclusive enamel pin.
Volunteer 10 hours to get into the Volunteer Consuite (Vol Con) + a mystery prize!
Volunteer 20+ hours and your name is put into a raffle for some interesting prizes.
Again, thank you for your interest in helping us make this convention happen. This is something we hope to do again and again. The first part is building a solid group of staff and volunteers who will be with us from year to year. Here’s hoping you’ll be one of the team!
Talk to you soon!

Volunteering Descriptions
For those who wish to volunteer, we have plenty of opportunities even at night. The volunteer would sign up for 1 hour or longer shifts with the volunteering department. About 10 minutes before the shift the volunteer would check in with volunteering and then go on duty. Have the department staff who saw the volunteer on duty, sign off on the volunteer card.
Have other questions for Volunteers?
Your job, should you accept it, is to make sure that no one gets past you without a convention badge. This means that anyone without a badge shall not pass you into that area. There are multiple areas where you would be needed such as the EXHIBIT HALL, ARTIST ALLEY, and VIDEO GAMING. This is a good job to start with if it is your first time volunteering.
Interested in helping out our hard working and wonderful consuite staff? If you are, your main task will be badging the entryway into the consuite allowing only approved badges in. The staff will sometimes need help restocking the room and / or cleaning during rush hours. Your job is to be whatever they need at the moment.
You will be able to help out our wonderful registration staff with greeting con-goers, checking their IDs, and handing them their badge. You are basically the first person they will see. Shifts are an average of 4 to 6 hours.
If any of these sound interesting to you, please fill out the form below. Remember, you MUST be registered for the convention in order to volunteer.
