ConnectiCon is always looking for a few more volunteers, if you've volunteered at ConnectiCon in the past, you know how much fun it is. If you haven't
volunteered in the past, then you'll just have to sign up and discover how much fun you'll have working with your fellow fans to make Connecticut's
largest fandom convention run smoothly.
Volunteer Conduct
Volunteers will be responsible for their actions, all con rules apply to volunteeres. At any point when a volunteer breaks a rule, he or she will be
reprimanded and will have an infraction point puunched on their volunteer badge. After two infraction points, the volunteer will be asked to stop
volunteering andd depending on the infractions will be removed from the convention.
Notable Infractions
- Complaints from ConnectiCon Staff, other Volunteers, or ConnectiCon Guest and Members
- Sexual Harassment
- Striking a Staff member, Volunteer or ConnectiCon Guest or Member
- The use of alcohol or illegal substances during ConnectiCon
- The loss of Connecticon property
- Any infringement of the Convention Rules as laid out
All Volunteer are required to read and sign a contract that tells them what is expected of them and what is going to happen if they fail to do
what is expected. Now, as for the good stuff...
Perks!
You'll also be rewarded for helping out! Below you will see what rewards can be earned for your efforts:
- Up to 8 hours: You can drop your stuff off and hang out for a bit in Volunteer Headquarters with the the Party Monster! RAWR! There should also be
some snacks and refreshments available for Volunteers if hanging with the Party Monster isn't your thing.
- 8 - 16 hours: You'll get an "exclusive" ConnectiCon Volunteer T-Shirt!
If you want the T-shirt before your eight hours are signed off on, all we require is a five dollar ($5) deposit
on the shirt, which you will receive back after you have completed your eight hours. If you love the shirt so much that you don't want your five
dollars back, we'll give you a second shirt!
- 16 - 24 hours: If you've gotten your snacks, had fun hanging out with the Party Monster, decided to take an extra Volunteer Shirt instead of your
five dollar deposit back and are looking for more rewards... another eight hours will earn you a free membership to next year's ConnectiCon, where
repeating the whole process will earn you another free membership!
- 24 or more hours: For all that hard work, you deserve a place to crash! We'll provide you with a place to sleep, shared with a few other hearty
Volunteers, and a Staff member or two to keep things under control. You'll have a place to leave your stuff, sleep, AND shower every day. Chances are,
you'll even get a breakfast out of the deal too!
Crash space is limited, so we do ask folks who are going to be looking for crash space to sign up for their
Volunteer shifts in advance and stick to them once they've signed on. Folks who don't sign up in advance will need to have completed at least
eight (8) hours of volunteer shifts by Friday night and are scheduled for sixteen (16) more hours between Saturday and Sunday. The volunteer
director, vice-chairman or chairman have the final say on use of crash space.
