Please read the below volunteer contract fully before submitting an application. Applications are processed on a first come first served basis, so the sooner you apply the better. Volunteers working 8 hours or more over the course of the weekend who complete an application at least 2 weeks before the symposium will be allowed to attend the symposium for free and not be responsible for purchasing a ticket. If you have already purchased a ticket feel free to volunteer anyway, we will refund your registration fee after the symposium. If you have any questions, please email leftcoastsherlock+vol@gmail.com.

As a volunteer, you must agree to the following:

2. I promise to sign in and out with the appropriate coordinator.

3. I understand that if I do not fulfill the volunteer hours I agree to I will not be allowed to volunteer at future cons.

4. I understand that while I may wear a costume during my volunteer hours that it cannot unreasonably restrict my movement or otherwise prevent me from doing my work.
