• Volunteer

Everyone has a superpower, and Anime Expo volunteers truly bring that to life. Each year, they come together to create an unforgettable experience for attendees!

We are thrilled by the continued overwhelming interest in joining the AX Volunteer Program. With limited spots available, we want to ensure fairness by prioritizing those who have previously applied and have been waiting for their opportunity, as well as a select number of returning volunteers. As such, we will not be accepting new applications at this time. Volunteer Resources will be reaching out directly to selected volunteers through March and April to notify them of their selection. Thank you again for your interest. We are deeply grateful to all of our volunteers.
