Volunteer Roles and Descriptions

Reports To: Section Lead

Description

You’ll be the first friendly face that attendees see as they come in the door, and giving a first impression to help set the atmosphere. You need to be OK with cash handling and EFT-POS, though help will be available – at worst just a phone-call away and we’ll pair more experienced people with you if this is your first time. 

We will have laptops or iPads on-hand for people to register, you will be expected to help attendees if required.

You’ll be involved with Prize Draws and Golden Tickets, including taking prize-winners photos
All children under the age of 14 are required to have a responsible adult on site – we’re not providing daycare.

You’ll also be doing an approximate survey of how many attendees are in the venue.
Please arrive 5 min early for your shift to allow smooth hand-over.

The primary objective for front desk volunteers is to ensure everyone attending the con feels welcome.  All in all though just be yourself. Be friendly, don’t feel like you have to have all the answers, just help people feel comfortable and involved. If you don’t know something, ask a committee member.

Volunteers Required: 6 volunteers for 10am - 10:30am, 2 volunteers thereafter

Shift Length: 4 hours
