ThunderCon is a Not-for-Profit organization run entirely by fans, for fans. We are not a corporation. We are not a big business or an expo. We are run 100% by volunteers, who love our community and are passionate about sharing our fandoms with others. As ThunderCon grows, so does our need for more help to make sure things continue to run smoothly.

We are looking for friendly and engaged volunteers to help with everything from guest registration to all-around fandom fun ambassadors. If you love anime, sci-fi, superheroes, or anything really, and you want to help by enthusiastically lending a hand and sharing your passions with others, we want to hear from you. We are looking for volunteers to fill several positions during both the ThunderCon weekend and year round!
