About the role of Volunteer

Volunteer Terms and Conditions and Disclaimer

Thanks for your interest in volunteering with Flower City Comic Con! We want to provide a place where all fans can come together and have a great time with each other, and volunteers are a huge part of providing a great time for all! Please review our volunteer policies below.

All policies will be strictly enforced.

ALL VOLUNTEERS MUST BE 16+ OR OLDER TO VOLUNTEER

  1. We ask that all volunteers work a minimum of  5 to 6 hours. This may cover one or more shifts depending on which area you are assigned to.
  2. If you are 16 or 17 you will need parent/guardian permission to volunteer.
  3. Times we will need volunteers:  Friday September 13. 8am-10pm to help with vendor move in, general setup, and Friday night event. Saturday September 14, 7:00am-8:00pm. Sunday September 15, 8:00am-7pm. The before and after show hours are to help with making sure everything is ready to go before and cleaned up after. Sunday we want enough people on hand to help with vendor move out. 
  4. We prefer all volunteers work at least 1 Saturday shift. Saturday is our busiest day and we will need all the help we can get, so anyone who is able to work a shift on both Saturday AND Sunday will get preference. If you have special scheduling needs, and are only able to work Sunday, please note this on your application.
  5. All volunteers must wear their name badge while at the con or while working any pre-convention event
  6. All volunteers should wear appropriate clothing and footwear. Please refrain from wearing torn or dirty clothing or open-toed shoes. Comfortable walking shoes are best, as most volunteers will be doing a lot of standing and/or walking.

  8. Volunteers must refrain from any deliberate acts that may create a dangerous or unhealthy situation during the show. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of illegal drugs, consumption of alcoholic beverages and assaulting, threatening or disregarding the safety of an individual. Anyone who might be under the influence or is exhibiting dangerous or risky behavior, will be reported to security immediately.
  9. Volunteers are not permitted to use their volunteer status to promote or conduct personal business. Anyone caught doing so will be escorted off the premises and have their badge/wristband revoked.
  10. All volunteers will need to attend a brief non-harassment training before the convention.
