Prospective volunteers should first read the guidelines below.

What GTEX provides:

• One free volunteer t-shirt (if you work at least one shift).
• One Weekend Pass to GTEX 2019 (if you work at least 4 shifts = 12 hours).
• We are not a non-profit, but if your school is willing to give you volunteer credit for volunteering with us then we are willing to sign off on your volunteer hours.

What GTEX expects from volunteers:

• All volunteers must complete and submit a volunteer application.
• Volunteers should read and agree to GTEX policies.
• All prospective volunteers must be at least 16 years of age to apply.
• Shifts are three consecutive hours each and you will be asked to work four of these over the course of the show if you want a comped badge. You may specify your preferences (or limited availability) in your application, but preferences are not guaranteed. Shifts are as follows:
  1. Friday 8pm - 11pm
  2. Friday 11pm - 2am
  3. Saturday 2am - 5am
  4. Saturday 5am - 8am
  5. Saturday 8am - 11am
  6. Saturday 11am - 2pm
  7. Saturday 2pm - 5pm
  8. Saturday 5pm - 8pm
  9. Saturday 8pm - 11pm
  10. Saturday 11pm - 2am
  11. Sunday 2am - 5am
  12. Sunday 5am - 8am
  13. Sunday 8am - 11am
  14. Sunday 11am - 2pm
  15. Sunday 2pm - 5pm
  16. Sunday 5pm - 7pm
• All volunteers must wear their badge.
• Volunteers must wear their volunteer shirts while working their shifts. Volunteer shirts are NOT to be worn while you are off the clock, but we hope you will keep the shirt and wear it around after the convention is over.
• Volunteers are not allowed to participate in events while working, but are eligible to participate like any other attendee when off duty.
• Tasks required of volunteers include the following sorts of activities:
  1. Checking badges at entry doors (chair provided so you aren’t standing the whole time).
  2. Working in the board game library to facilitate game check-in/out.
  3. Working a snack stand (pre-packaged snacks and drinks only, no food prep).
  4. The first and last shift of the con may be asked to help set/collect tablecloths and numbered table stands.
  5. Given the size and scope of GTEX 2019, it is not expected that volunteers will need to lift anything more than a few pounds nor walk any significant distance while on shift.
• Our Volunteer Manager will arrange to check on you periodically to facilitate bio breaks and the like.
• Please notify us in your application if you have any special circumstances of which you think we need to be aware.
