MarsCon is run completely by volunteers, and we couldn’t put on the convention without the help of fans like you!
Here are just some of the areas where volunteers are needed before, during, and after the Con:
The minimum age to volunteer alone is 15. Anyone under the age of 15 who would like to volunteer may do so with their parent/guardian with them at all times.
We will train any volunteers who need to be shown the ropes.
All volunteers will need to register for the convention.
If you’d like to help, (even if you’re not sure what area you’d like to volunteer with) please fill out the Volunteer Interest Form below.
Volunteering comes with REWARDS!
Volunteers will be set up to accumulate volunteer hours toward a prize. (MarsCon committee members are not eligible for prizes.)
Logistics volunteer hours for move in and pack out – before and after MarsCon – count double.
Regular prizes will cost time from your accumulated pool of earned hours (for example, if you have 5 volunteer hours, you can choose one 5-hour prize or five 1-hour prizes).
