Ganbatte Convention Inc. 2026 Volunteer Contract
By volunteering with Ganbatte Convention Inc., I understand that my actions represent the convention and its values. If I do not uphold these standards, I may be removed from the volunteer team.
By signing this contract, I agree to all responsibilities associated with my volunteer position and will abide by Ganbatte Convention Inc.’s Convention Policy.
1. Job Responsibilities
1.1. Prior to the event, volunteers are expected to attend training sessions. You must attend at least 2 of the 5 mandatory training meetings. These sessions cover the expectations and duties of each volunteer position and allow time for questions.
1.2. Each volunteer must complete a minimum of 3 hours per day to earn a VIP badge valid for the entire convention.
1.3. Volunteer hours do not need to be consecutive and can be split into three 2-hour shifts, at your Team Leader’s discretion. You are welcome to volunteer additional hours beyond the minimum—extra help is always appreciated!
1.4. After completing your shifts, you must return any property belonging to Ganbatte Convention Inc.
2. Behavior
2.1. Volunteers are ambassadors of the convention. You are expected to be professional, friendly, and helpful at all times while assisting attendees.
2.2. Unprofessional conduct may result in a warning or immediate removal from the volunteer team.
2.3. If you experience any conflict or issues with other Ganbatte staff, please bring your concerns to a Team Leader—not to other staff, volunteers, or attendees.
2.4. Alcohol consumption is prohibited during volunteer hours. If you arrive intoxicated or become unable to perform your duties, you will be asked to leave. You may return the next day to resume your shift if appropriate.
3. Team Leaders
3.1. Team Leaders are responsible for the smooth operation of the event. Volunteers must follow Team Leader instructions during their shifts.
3.2. If you feel a Team Leader is being unfair, report the issue to a different Team Leader. Do not involve other volunteers or attendees. Continuing to discuss resolved issues may result in a warning. Persistent issues may lead to a two-year ban from volunteering.
4. Reporting
4.1. Report any attendee or volunteer misconduct to the appropriate Team Leader or department lead. Do not directly intervene in attendee disputes.
4.2. Any witnessed or overheard theft must be reported immediately to the President or Tickets & Registration Lead. Do not discuss incidents with other volunteers or attendees unless explicitly instructed.
5. Quitting
If you choose to resign, speak with a Team Leader so we can understand and potentially address any issues, and give a time to let the team know. We value all volunteers and appreciate those who depart respectfully. Volunteers who damage the reputation of Ganbatte Convention Inc. may be banned from future events.
6. Media Consent
Volunteers acknowledge that photos or video may be taken of them during the event for promotional purposes by Ganbatte Convention. By signing this agreement, volunteers consent to the use of their image in Ganbatte’s marketing materials, social media, or press coverage.
Volunteers are not permitted to give interviews or speak on behalf of Ganbatte without prior approval from the President, Vice President or an approved Department Leader.
7. Appearance & Attire
Volunteers must wear an official Staff T-shirt or Volunteer Lanyard while on duty. Moderate or casual cosplay is permitted (e.g., wigs, makeup, props), as long as you can perform your tasks and your face remains visible (no masks). Team Leaders may ask you to change if attire is deemed unsuitable. Full cosplay is only allowed outside of your scheduled shift unless pre-approved for your role.
This contract is valid for all Ganbatte Convention Inc. events from August 1, 2025, to July 31, 2026, including Ganbatte 2026, held July 4–5.
