Ever worked at an anime convention before? Want to? SMASH offers a training program so that prior experience isn’t necessary! All that is required is that you are motivated, hard-working and enthusiastic! You’ll meet lots of new people, and gain experience that can help you in the workforce.

As a SMASH volunteer, you'll be part of a team that will work to assist staff and convention-goers in an area of the convention.

We'll let you know if your application was successful.

Applications close on July 12th at Midnight
