Volunteer Benefits

While we can never pay all our volunteers what they're worth, we try to offer great benefits for helping out. It's also tons of fun and a great way to meet people and make friends.

  • 25% discount on Tiki Kon merchandise, while supplies last*
  • Complimentary parking for on-site shifts (however, we recommend taking public transit)
  • Access to whichever show/presentation/activity you're working
  • A well-deserved sense of accomplishment!

8+ hours in a single day, consecutive shifts

  • Lunches are provided for volunteers who sign up for consecutive shifts (less than 1 hour break between shifts)**. If we're unable to provide lunch for whatever reason, we'll reimburse up to $20 for food you purchase yourself. Reimbursement will happen post-event, and you must provide receipts.
