Volunteer
Want to help make Furnal Equinox a success?
Putting together Canada's largest furry convention requires a great deal of effort and commitment from a number of people, and we can't do it without our attendees who take some time out to lend us a hand or two!
(Make sure you're logged in first!)
Being A Volunteer
Furnal Equinox's volunteers and staff make a big difference in the success of our event and we are intensely grateful to them for their contribution. Our volunteers come from all walks of life — some are local, some come from far away, and all bring various skills and experiences to the table.
If you've never volunteered at a convention before, give some thought to making Furnal Equinox your first con for volunteering. We'll make sure that it's a positive experience for you!
Volunteering does not require a minimum commitment — no matter whether you put in one hour or ten, every bit of work is appreciated. We know that you want to enjoy the convention too, and we will do our best to make sure that you can enjoy all the events that you want to attend.
But what's in it for you? All of our volunteers receive a special volunteer headband... not only is it a great souvenir of your time from FE, but it'll allow us to easily pick you out of a crowd if we need a little bit of help - so wear it with pride!
Not only that...
If you volunteer more than 6 hours, we'll give you a Furnal Equinox T-shirt.
If you volunteer more than 12 hours, we'll give you a free membership for next year's convention!
Volunteering is also a great way to get our attention if you'd like to be more involved with FE as a staff or concom member.
How do I get involved? If you're interested in volunteering at next year's convention, fill out the form above, or e-mail Twitchy (our volunteer coordinator) at volunteer@furnalequinox.com.
If you decide that you'd like to volunteer at the convention itself, it's easy to get involved! Just come to Con Ops and let us know that you're interested in volunteering, and we'll find something for you to do! (There always is something to do, trust us!)
