Thank you for your interest in volunteering at TCAF! Every year we need about 200 people who are willing to donate their time, muscles, charm, ingenuity and verve to run the Festival. We’d love for you to be one of them.
TCAF volunteers work in small teams of between five and twelve people. These teams are each responsible for running a particular space or process essential to the Festival. Each team has a team leader, who is usually a returning, veteran TCAF volunteer who knows the lay of the land.
Volunteering at TCAF can be a lot of fun, and is a great way to meet people who are interested in comics! TCAF volunteering looks great on your résumé, and can count towards your required high school volunteer hours. Plus, TCAF volunteers each get a swank TCAF t-shirt, a TCAF poster, probably a cup of coffee or two, and the admiration and appreciation of all 20 000 people who attend the Festival!
If you’d like to sign-up to volunteer at TCAF, please fill in the form linked below. If you have specific questions about volunteering at TCAF, feel free to email me at volunteer@torontocomics.com, and I’ll get back to you in a few days with some answers.
Please note that this sign-up questionnaire is going to ask you for your availability during TCAF (i.e. May 9th – 12th 2013). If you’re unsure which Saturday in May is your cousin’s wedding, or which Friday you scheduled that root canal, please double-check your calendar before you start filling out the form.
Once you fill out the form below, consider yourself signed up! We’ll be in touch with you as we get closer to the Festival to confirm your volunteer shifts! And thanks again!
