Volunteer information.

Taiyou Con volunteers are all unpaid volunteers working very hard to bring Arizona a great event! Volunteers help perform simple, yet vital, tasks throughout the convention. These tasks include, but are not limited to, badge checker, cosplay repair desk attendant, hospitality suite attendant and vendor hall setup.

For Taiyou Con, you earn a single day entry badge for every five (5) hours you volunteer.

Five (5) hours of volunteering will get you a free one-day entry badge.
Ten (10) hours of volunteering will get you two free one-day entry badges.
Fifteen (15) hours or more of volunteering will get you three free one-day entry badges and some merch! (While supplies last)

Requirements

A form of identification is required to volunteer at Taiyou Con. Not only are IDs used to confirm your identity at volunteer check-in, but they are used as collateral to ensure volunteers complete their hours and return our volunteer badges to us. You will not be allowed to volunteer without a form of identification. Acceptable forms of identification are those that are administered by a government agency, official institute or company that clearly shows your legal name and a photo, such as state IDs, passports, school IDs and work badges. Identification with date of birth on it is required for those who and are scheduled to do ID checking for 18+ panels, as those individuals need to be over the age of eighteen (18).

Volunteers will only be awarded and allowed to use a badge after they have successfully completed hours. This means a entry badge must be earned before a volunteer can attend any programming. The only exception to this rule is when a volunteer has a shift on the final day of con, usually Sunday. In such a case, a volunteer will be allowed to pick up and use their badge before their shift, but their ID will be left with volunteer registration as collateral until their hours have been completed.

Thanks for your interest in helping!
