Volunteer

Thank you for showing an interest in volunteering! Volunteers are a vital part of Anime Milwaukee. Without volunteers, we would be unable to give our attendees the best experience possible.

We are looking for friendly, enthusiastic for people (like you!) to help us run the inner workings of the con.

Volunteers are needed for the following:

• Badgers
• Registration Table
• Viewing Room Attendants
• Gophers (running errands)
• Coat check

Here's how it all works:

• Once you arrive at the convention, go to the Volunteering Table in the Hyatt.
• You will pay $40 (cash or check only!) for a full weekend badge. This is our collateral to make sure you hold up your end of the deal.
• When you get your badge, you will be given your assignment time(s) and location(s).
• When you arrive at an assignment, find a Division Director, Department Head or Assistant Department Head to sign in
• After an assignment is complete, find a Division Director, Department Head or Assistant Department Head to sign off on your assignment.
• Once you have completed at least 12 hours of assignments, return to the Volunteering Table in the Hyatt.
• Show your staff-signed assignments to the staff at the volunteering table, and you'll get your $40 back.
• Keep your badge, and enjoy the rest of the con!

Other things to remember:

• Volunteers must be 16 years old or over.
• People who sign up to volunteer before the con have more control over their assignments.
• Keep in mind, you do not have to work 12 hours in one go. You can spread it out over the entire convention.
• Volunteering registration will only be accepting cash or check.

To sign up as a volunteer, send an email to:
volunteering@animemilwaukee.com.

The email subject should be along the lines of, "I want to volunteer for AMKE 2012". In the body of the email, include your: name, age, phone number, and an idea of what days/times you would like to work.

When it gets closer to the actual con, we will send out an email asking for your specific availability and will arrange a work schedule from that.

Thanks again for considering being a volunteer,
Stephanie Sehrbrock
Volunteer Department Head
