Volunteer Program / Applications Open
Volunteer With JAMMY CON
Join the team that helps JAMMY CON run smoothly. Choose the application that fits you best, or apply for both if you are open to either a hands-on general volunteer role or a volunteer leader role.
Step 1 / Choose Your Path
Start by choosing the form that fits you best.
Both paths help create the JAMMY CON experience. General volunteers support event areas during their shifts. Volunteer leaders take on more responsibility by helping guide volunteers, communicate with staff, and keep assigned areas organized. If you are interested in both, you may submit both forms.
Volunteer Leaders / Team Leads
Best for people who are comfortable guiding others, checking in with assigned areas, answering volunteer questions, and helping keep department flow organized.
General Volunteers
Best for people who want a hands-on role helping with check-in, lines, programs, booths, event spaces, errands, setup, tear-down, or general support.
Step 2 / Benefits
What you can look forward to as a volunteer.
Support the festival, meet people, and get a closer look at how JAMMY CON comes together behind the scenes.
Free Access
Get complimentary access to JAMMY CON Festival on your shift day during your time off.

Step 3 / Important Notes
What to know before applying.
Placement depends on event needs, role fit, and applicant availability. General Volunteer applicants must be 16+, Volunteer Leader / Team Lead applicants must be 18+, and applying for both forms is allowed.
Applications Are Open
Use the general volunteer form for hands-on support roles, the leader form if you want to help supervise and coordinate other volunteers, or submit both forms if either path works for you.
