Volunteering

The Wheel Weaves You In

Volunteering at JordanCon

To sign up to volunteer, visit https://signup.com/go/qOwmMDK

JordanCon doesn’t happen by itself. Behind every smoothly-run panel, every beautifully hung piece of art, every warm welcome at the registration desk — there is a volunteer. Year after year, they are the heartbeat of this convention, giving their time so that fellow fans can lose themselves in the world Robert Jordan built.

Whether you’re a first-timer curious about how the con runs, or a returning Jenn Aiel ready to serve again, there has never been a better time to step up. Here’s everything you need to know.

“Volunteers are the heart and soul of JordanCon. Without you, our convention wouldn’t be possible.”
— JordanCon Volunteer Team

What Does Volunteering Look Like?

Most volunteer shifts run about 90 minutes — a manageable, meaningful chunk of time that fits around your con schedule. You’ll have full visibility into available roles before you sign up, so you can find a slot that fits your energy, mobility, and comfort level. There is genuinely something for everyone — introverts, extroverts, those who want to stay seated, and those who like to be in the middle of the action.

One important note: volunteers must have purchased a membership to participate. The con doesn’t provide complimentary badges, but everything else you earn more than makes up for it.

The Perks — And There Are Many

JordanCon takes care of its volunteers. Each shift earns you something, and the more you serve, the more the rewards stack up.

Daily Raffle Tickets Every 1.5-hour shift earns you one raffle ticket. Raffles run Thursday through Sunday, with prizes exclusive to volunteers.
Dead Dog Party Sunday night, after the con winds down, volunteers gather for an exclusive close-out party complete with gelato desserts and an additional round of raffle prizes. It’s a proper send-off for the people who made it all happen.
Early Access — Hotel & Sign-Ups Previous volunteers get early access to the hotel room block before the general public. Previous volunteers also receive early access to volunteer slot sign-ups for the following year’s con.
Thank You Goodie Bag At the very start of Con — before you’ve even worked your first shift — you’ll receive a volunteer goodie bag as a thank you for showing up.
Rhuidean Access All Weekend Volunteer HQ — nicknamed Rhuidean — is your home base for the entire convention. Snacks, bottled water, and fellow volunteers available all weekend long whenever you need to recharge.
Badge Ribbons Complete your first shift and you’ll earn an Aiel badge ribbon. Finish your third, and you’ll receive the Jenn Aiel ribbon — a mark of those who hold the old ways.

COLLECTOR’S ITEM · 3 OR MORE SHIFTS

This Year’s Aiel Pin: The Hama N’dore (Mountain Dancers)

Complete three or more shifts and you’ll earn this year’s exclusive collector’s pin. Each pin is designed specifically for that year of the con and never made again — a badge of honor, a piece of JordanCon history, and proof that you were here, that you served. Your pin also unlocks discounts with select vendors in the Dealers Hall.
