Volunteer
From the Con Chair on down, ConGregate is strictly run on a volunteer basis… and we need your help!
Our volunteers fall into two categories, Staff and Gofers.
If you plan to volunteer, DO NOT PAY FOR YOUR MEMBERSHIP.
Staff
These are the folks who work year-round to bring you the best ConGregate possible.
Staff members will receive a complimentary badge, and our eternal thanks! (They also get to help shape the convention.)
Gofers
What’s a “Gofer,” you ask? In short, it’s someone who “goes for this, or goes for that.” They are the backbone of every convention. They show up and work during convention hours, helping wherever the staff feels they are needed the most.
Gofers who work a minimum of 8 hours during the weekend will receive a complimentary badge.
The Directors of ConGregate will do their best to work with each volunteer to accommodate the volunteer’s schedule. We will also try to place the volunteer in the area they have requested. In each case, however, the needs of the convention may come first.
Please also read the Rules of the Convention if you would like to volunteer.
Certain safety mandates may be in effect regarding COVID-19. Please check our COVID-19 information page on a regular basis to find out the latest information.
If you would like to volunteer, please fill out the interest form on this page.
The deadline to sign up for ConGregate 11 (2025) is June 9, 2025.
