VOLUNTEER WITH US!

Puchicon started and still remains a small ("Puchi") Convention, which takes the dedication, support, and love from each and every person who volunteers to keep it running. We also appreciate and value our volunteers' creative and unique ideas and actions that help us have a successful event. Each volunteer and growing staff position are made up of each Convention from our previous volunteers.

Volunteers function as support to Puchicon Staff. Here are some of the duties Volunteers are responsible for (more can be selected from the Volunteer Application)?

​

*Assembling convention materials (guidebooks, lanyards, decorations, etc.)
*Assisting with panel and event needs
*Delivering various items to departments (badges, signage, etc.)
*Helping with various tasks that require extra hands to ensure the convention runs smoothly

All Volunteers must be 18 + years of age by the time of the Convention dates. All Volunteers must pre-register by completing a Volunteer application.

Sign up to be Volunteer through our online application.

• Volunteers must have a valid mailing address.

• If you apply online and your application is accepted, you will receive a welcome email to join us for the Phase Two: Group Interview process. This will be conducted online only. You must be available to attend the Group Interview. If you need to reschedule, please send us an email to consider you for a future Group Interview. If you miss the appointed Group Interview without reaching out to us, we will, unfortunately, have to omit your Volunteer Application. Let's respect everyone's time and commitment.

• Fill out ALL of the Volunteer Application questions, and the positions you prefer. Please note not everyone will get the position they signed up for, the list outlines what you could possibly be doing.

• Volunteer shift schedules will be made available a couple of weeks before the convention.

• After arriving at the Convention location, check-in and let us know you’ve arrived.

• All Staff and Volunteers must attend an orientation meeting. Two will be offered during the convention, one held Friday Evening, and one held Saturday Morning.

  • You must attend at least ONE of these orientations before starting your Volunteer shifts.

Puchicon is currently offering the following perks/benefits for all Volunteers & Staff, based on the number of hours of volunteer service (subject to change):

*Full Access to Convention Weekend
*$15 an hour
*Puchicon Staff Badge

​

Food, Hotel and travel is NOT provided

Volunteers and Staff are allowed to carpool to and from the convention, HOWEVER, Puchicon does not provide carpooling services or facilitate them. Volunteers and Staff can carpool at their own discretion. Puchicon is not liable in any way for carpooling exchanges between volunteers and staff.

​

If carpooling is not an option for you, there are other methods of transportation publicly available - from Public transportation, Charter Bus Services, Rental Cars, Taxi, and transport companies. Again, these options are suggestions, and not affiliated or endorsed by Puchicon.

Unfortunately, Volunteers/Interns & Staff must commit to volunteering their time to meet the roles & responsibilities in order to support the functioning of the Convention. If you wish to sell, you must apply to be a vendor/artist and secure a table using conventional methods. However, this will forfeit your ability to volunteer at the same time during the same Convention.

According to current venue policy, Guests are free to enjoy outside food & beverage in their guest rooms. Outside food & beverage is not permitted inside hotel premises. Restaurant and concession seating areas are for hotel and/or resort Food and Beverage use only. Outside food and beverage, pizza parties, or small group gatherings, are not permitted in these areas.
