Introduction to Volunteering with Anime Fargo
Anime Fargo is a convention built by people who love anime and wanted to create both space and community for us to come together and celebrate that. As part of making the convention happen, we love folks stepping up to volunteer their time and talent.
Volunteering doesn’t just help our convention, but it can make you feel more connected to the convention and enrich your convention experience by meeting and helping the folks who run it!
During Convention: The Volunteer Room
Anime Fargo has a volunteer room that invites attendees to help make the convention a better and more welcoming space for everyone. We assign a variety of tasks across the convention, such as, but not limited to:
- Helping us check badges across panels and our market
- Helping our party rooms keep clean or supplied
- Encouraging friends to check out new activities together
- Thanking staff, complimenting cosplays, and giving tours to new folks
Each completed activity can get you a stamp towards earning your volunteer ribbon. There will also be little prizes and thank yous for each completed task!
Signing Up to Be an Official Volunteer
The role of volunteers is often to directly help our staff, learn what running a con looks like, and start to take on more responsibilities if there is interest. There is always something for everyone to do!
If you’d like to be an official volunteer with the convention, please fill out our Volunteer Interest Form!
Considerations
● There are no commitments with filling out the form
● This is how staff will reach out with requests when they come up
