Our Volunteer positions have all been filled.  Yay! And Thank You!

If you’re interested in volunteering next year, jump on our email list (right sidebar) and you’ll get notification for all 2017 events.  Thanks for thinking of us.

 

One of the cool things about WordCamps is they are organized and put on entirely by volunteers, and everyone participates by contributing what they can. It takes a lot of people to make a WordCamp happen, and volunteers are who make it possible.  Can you feel the love?

Being a volunteer is a great way of giving back to the WordPress community, and meeting a lot of great people that normally you might not have had a chance to talk to. Not to mention some behind the scenes fun.

We are looking for people who are enthusiastic, organized, energetic, and who love WordPress or just being awesome.

What Do We Need Help With?

Volunteers will be, meeting attendees, assisting with parking, helping out with speakers, registering and handing out Tshirts, monitoring classes and generally helping to make this a great event for everyone, yourself included!

When do we need it?

We will need volunteers as the event gets closer and primarily for the days of the WordCamp, June 4-5.

What Should I Expect?

Plan to work one full day, for example:  If your monitoring a track, we will try to get you in your desired area of interest.  If helping with swag, we may need you the day before.

Volunteers are expected to arrive early, usually about an hour before the events begin for that day.  If you wanna help out on friday or the days before, let us know in the application, most of the available slots however, are on the weekend.

Also, (notice how we’re sneaking this in here) there will be a very cool volunteer appreciation party the week before.  Sort of a meet and greet so we get to know each other, hang out, play some corn hole, eat dinner… you get it.  Bring your light sabers it may get a little crazy.

How much are my tickets?

Your ticket for the weekend will be half price, $20.  Once you have been registered as an official volunteer we will send you a special code to purchase your ticket.
