Volunteer
Furnal Equinox is always looking for staff and volunteers who have the desire to make our convention a massive success.
Why We Need You
All of our convention staff and volunteers &mdash from the chairs right down to our gofers — are volunteers. Every aspect of our convention happens with volunteer help, from when you first check in at Registration, to every panel you attend, to the AV crew that puts together the awesome dances.
Our volunteers take time out of their busy schedules, taking time off of work and spare time to make sure the convention can run off successfully. Without them, Furnal Equinox simply wouldn't happen. As time goes on, though, our convention grows, and we try to offer more — or people have other commitments and need to pass on the responsibility to someone else.
That's where you come in.
What We Ask
Whether you put in one hour or ten, every bit of work is appreciated. We know that you want to enjoy the convention too, and we will do our best to make sure that you can enjoy all the events that you want to attend.
All of our volunteers get a special badge that they can wear at the convention. In addition, we offer additional perks depending on the number of hours you work, up to a free admission to next year's convention.
Volunteering is also a great way to get our attention if you'd like to be more involved with FE as staff or on our convention committee.
If you're interested in volunteering or being on staff, send us an e-mail at volunteer@furnalequinox.com.
And if you decide that you'd like to volunteer at the convention itself, just come to con ops and let us know!
