Volunteering

Want a Free Badge?

Looking to help out at Animarathon and earn a free badge? Then volunteering for Animarathon is just the thing for you!

We are looking for help running the convention and hope you can join us in this event! Please read the requirements and expectations.

Volunteer Requirements

All Volunteer staff members must be sixteen years of age or older. Only Volunteers aged 18+ may staff 18+ rated panels.
Volunteers, when not attending to duties assigned, must be able and willing to assist their fellow volunteers should the need arise. As an example, if someone else did not show up at their assigned time to watch a room, you may be required to fill in for them.
Volunteers must be able and willing to provide general security and report problems to ANO officers. Volunteer Security focuses on non-violent, non-criminal incidents, and reports serious incidents to the BGSU police instead.
In the event you are unable to attend Animarathon as a Volunteer, you must give a 7 day's notice so that we can make the appropriate adjustments to our staffing. When our volunteer coordinator contacts you, please reply as soon as possible.
You must work at minimum of 6 hours to be eligible for your badge

If we find you are not completing your duties, you will have to pay for your badge or be blacklisted from our volunteer list.

Please note that you will have to volunteer for at least four hours each day if you want to receive a free general badge.
