***Proof of Covid-19 vaccination required for all volunteers for 2021.*** Anime Weekend Atlanta is the largest fan run anime convention in the Southeast and among the largest in North America! Every year, ordinary people come together to create an extraordinary experience. We build on one another’s strengths, passion, and dedication to offer an experience like no other. Southern hospitality and Japanese fandom combine to present a weekend you won’t soon forget. We hope you’ll consider joining our growing family. We don’t just offer resume building experience, warm feelings, and newfound friendships. Joining Crew: How to do the thing: You must be 16 or older (some departments require you to be 18+) by the first day of the convention. If you are under 18, we’ll need a parental waiver too (linked below). Attend at least one crew meeting per year, so you know what’s going on and can get info on customer service, money handling, first aid, etc. Help out for 14 hours during the convention. Once you hit 14, you qualify for next year’s crew. Anything past that is optional, but very appreciated. Complete a Crew Form before October 20, 2021! We have THIRTY ONE-derful departments to choose from! By completing the Crew Form, you are signing and agreeing to the Volunteer Waiver and Release of Liability (posted and linked below).

(Deposits must be submitted at one of the AWA meetings or badge pickup and must be in cash.) Show up, put in your time, and get your deposit back as early as 12:00pm on Saturday of the convention. Most importantly, HAVE FUN! If at any point you aren’t having fun, let your (or another) director know, and we’ll find a way to fix it for you.
