Volunteering

Volunteering at Zenkaikon can take many forms: from the ACV Super Squad to becoming a part of the Zenkaikon Staff.

ACV Super Squad

The At-Con-Volunteer (ACV) Super Squad lets you experience Zenkaikon from behind the scenes and help out the convention in many different ways. Hours are flexible, and you can sign up before the convention through our ACV Super Squad page. To volunteer for the ACV Super Squad, you must be 16 years or older.

Zenkaikon Staff

Zenkaikon’s all-volunteer staff run the convention during the event and help out year round. For a commitment of 24 hours of volunteering during the convention, there are many benefits for staffing (including food and crash space during the convention). If you are 18 years or older and interested, see our Staff registration page.
