About the role of Volunteer

 

Are you interested in volunteering at Bell County Comic Con? If so, please continue reading…

​

Agreeing to volunteer for Bell County Comic Con should not be taken lightly. Volunteers put in long hours, mostly on their feet, and sometimes sacrifice the chance to enjoy the convention itself. There are benefits however: getting to see how a convention works from the inside, making new friends, Volunteer Swag, and meeting our celebrities and special guests.

​

Each volunteer gets a volunteer t-shirt (to be worn while on duty), an exclusive BCCC Volunteer Badge and admission to the convention for the weekend. You will also be provided with some meals, light snacks and water, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

​

Please don’t volunteer if you don’t have time to work at least two six hour shifts on either Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday. Volunteers pay their dues by working hard to serve thousands of guests each day of the convention. If you can’t commit, or think volunteering will conflict with your favorite program or activity, you should pay for admission instead. If you do believe this is something you want to do, please click the link below to fill out the volunteer registration form.

​

Please Note: Volunteers who work three or more six hour shifts on either Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday will receive comic con weekend admission for one additional family member in addition to themselves upon check-out from their third shift.
