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!
Volunteer Operations is the department that will guide you through your application, orientation, and receiving your schedule. They’ll also be there to help you with any questions that may arise before, during or after the convention.
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 have you :)
If you have any questions just reach out to us at volunteers@otakuthon.com.
