SO YOU WANT TO BE A CRAFTCATION ASSISTANT!

Fantastic! We are thrilled by your interest in becoming a Craftcation Assistant! This volunteer position is an awesome way to attend the Craftcation Conference – especially if you’re on a budget!  In exchange for volunteering your time as a Craftcation Assistant, you will be able to register and attend classes for FREE on the days/times that you are not volunteering! This applies to all Assistant Departments.

FULL DISCLOSURE: Craft workshops, business think tanks require advanced registration. As we are one week away from the first day of the conference, registration is now closed and we are on a waiting list for most workshops in these categories. This doesn’t mean you won’t be able to attend any workshops, though! You will just need to sign up for the workshop waiting lists displayed in each of the classrooms.  More waiting list information will be sent to you upon completion of your registration.

ASSISTANT DEPARTMENT ASSIGNMENTS:

We will try our best to accommodate your time block and department requests – be sure to weigh-in using the questions below to request your preferences. Feel free to reference the Craftcation Schedule to decide which days work best based on the workshops you’re interested in taking.

NOTE: BEGINNING IN 2019, ALL ASSISTANTS WILL BE ASSIGNED TO SERVE AT ONE MEAL IN ADDITION TO THEIR DEPARTMENT ASSIGNMENTS. THESE TIME SLOTS WILL BE ASSIGNED AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE CONFERENCE DATES.

We have FIVE volunteer positions that have opened up due to cancellations. Each of these positions includes two shifts assisting in the kitchen/food prep, the pop-up shop or in our craft workshops. See explanations of these departments below.

  • FOOD PREP: Two shifts – Wednesday 9:00am – 5:00pm AND Thursday 9:00am – 6:00pm

KITCHEN/FOOD PREP:

Meal preparation is at a close-by off-site location, and involves mostly chopping and mixing. Serving meals will be a part of this department as well.

Restocking inventory, keeping the shop tidy, and sales transactions.


OK – HERE’S THE FINE PRINT:

Craftcation Assistant assignments will be assigned on a first come, first serve basis. You may be asked to help in a different area that you were originally assigned the day of the conference if we have a need.

While we are happy to waive the price of your ticket in exchange for your time, please note that we DO NOT PROVIDE ACCOMMODATIONS. We suggest sharing a room with a friend (or three) to keep those costs down. If you are traveling solo, be sure to check out and join our Craftcation Alumni Community on Facebook to meet other attendees. People are always looking for roommates!
