General Volunteers
General Volunteers are our staff’s extra set of hands during the convention. They help out with the set up and take down of the convention as well!
Unlike staff, general volunteers have no single position. They help out in various departments to help the con run smoothly. If you want to help make this year’s Otakuthon amazing, sign up and help out! We’d love to work with you! :)
If you have any questions just reach out to us at volunteers@otakuthon.com.

Open volunteer positions
Various volunteer positions are available throughout the convention in many of our departments. The departments include Video Games, Events, Merchandise and Garage Sale, to only name a few. These openings depend on our needs for extra help during the convention. Volunteers can mark their preferences on their application (See link below) and we will try to schedule them accordingly.
