Volunteering - How You Can HelpJust think – the Worldcon is one of the largest volunteer-run events in the world. It only happens because hundreds of people like you, fans of science fiction and fantasy, give a little of their time to make this huge and exciting event happen. So why not volunteer? Organising an event like Interaction takes all kinds of skills, and you don’t need to have any previous conrunning experience to be a volunteer. For most con work, volunteers don’t need any special skills or knowledge, or we’ll help you get them. Other positions use skills you may have acquired through work, hobbies, or other areas of life outside of fandom. Whatever your talents and experience, we can use you! And there are benefits. Some fans learn hugely valuable skills through volunteering, while others have ‘just’ (!) had a wonderful time and made a heap of new friends. Volunteers in Registration, Ops, and Security (and pretty much everywhere else!) get to meet authors, artists, and editors, not to mention countless other fans. Masquerade volunteers have the chance to see those amazing costumes up close, and help their talented creators put them on. Art Show volunteers have the opportunity to see gorgeous artwork, and talk to the artists who brought them to life. Every volunteer gets to share in the buzz of making this amazing event happen. We also hope to thank volunteers with some exclusive perks – meal vouchers, T-shirts, reserved seating at extravaganzas, staff-only party, etc. If you can’t volunteer but would like to sponsor the Gopher Hole or donate something to the Perks Pool, get in touch! To join us in the fun, complete the volunteer form which we have attached below in both Microsoft Word and PDF formats. You can fill in a printed copy and post it to us at the Interaction office address (Interaction, 379 Myrtle Road, Sheffield, South Yorkshire S2 3HQ, UK). Alternatively fill in the Word version and email it to us at volunteers@interaction.worldcon.org.uk. Or just send us the equivalent information in a regular email. However you apply, please include details of what you’d be interested in helping with and what experience you have got. We can’t guarantee a particular job, but we can guarantee to be happy to hear from you!
