Volunteers Needed


WarpStock is a non-profit event that will be a success thanks to all of you, the volunteers.

The list below shows the volunteers that have stepped forward and areas where people are still needed. This list will be changing as new needs are identified. The description of duties is brief. A full detailed description will be provided prior to the event so that you are comfortable with your assignment.

It is not necessary to sign up for the entire day/shift. You may volunteer any amount of time that fits your schedule. Or maybe you'd like to work in one area in the morning and a different area in the afternoon. Just let us know and a schedule will be setup to accomodate you.

Onsite volunteers will be provided with a Warpstock T-Shirt
