We have lots of opportunities for people to volunteer to help make Capricon a success.
Every year we need volunteers to help plan the convention. These volunteers report to the Convention Chair, and arrange for all the things you see happen at the convention, plus all the things most attendees don’t see! Creating the program, organizing the Art Show and Dealers Room, coordinating at-con volunteers, running registration, facilitating move-in and move-out…there are jobs that take place before, during, and after the convention. There are big jobs and small jobs.
If you are interested in seeing how it all comes together, we encourage you to volunteer with us! We will work with you to find a role that fits your interests, availability, and skill set. Reach out to us at volunteers@capricon.org and let’s get started!
In addition to the convention planning, the Board of Directors also has ongoing staff positions, and also opportunities for some ad hoc deliverables. All roles are strictly volunteer, with Board meetings occurring monthly and work done in between the meetings.
Here’s what we currently have available:
Coordinator for Community Outreach / Second
