If you have any questions on these policies, please reach out to your department head or to Staffing Operations, whichever is more appropriate. Volunteers are expected to adhere to these volunteer policies, MAGFest’s Core Values, our Communications Code of Conduct, and the Event Code of Conduct. By accepting a staff badge or volunteering in the MAGFest community, you are agreeing to be held to the standards of the Codes of Conduct not only at our own events and spaces, but also at any event where you are representing MAGFest, as well as in MAGFest-related channels of communication, such as our Slack network or MAGFest email.
- Know your limits and remain honest with yourself and others. Take care of yourself, your body, and your mind. If you’ve been given more than you can handle, let us know. We’re here to help.
- Events can be hectic. It’s important to try to keep calm, remember the bigger picture, and de-escalate. Try not to sweat the small stuff -- every event is practice for the next and practice makes perfect.
- Each position, person, and shift is important. We couldn’t put together our events without each and every one of you. Thank you.
- This may seem obvious, but don’t do illegal things.
Responsibilities
- Punctuality: Volunteers remain punctual before, during, or after an event by filling out the volunteer checklist, arriving on time for shifts, and completing any shift reviews after the event. Should anything come up, please inform your department head so that we can work with you.
- Equipment: Volunteers are entrusted with valuable equipment (e.g., arcade cabinets, contractor equipment, A/V gear.) Please be careful and respectful of this equipment by only using it only in the method requested. Do your best to prevent any damage.
- Staff Shirts: When you wear your staff shirt, you are representing MAGFest and signaling that you are available to help attendees. If you’re not interested in helping or are engaging in an activity that doesn’t represent MAGFest, please change shirts.
- Communication Tools: Volunteers will receive our internal staff newsletter as well as access to our Slack and public Notion pages (our internal wiki). Volunteers will also receive access to our internal registration database (a.k.a. Uber/Reggie). Your Admin Access level in Uber/Reggie will be dependent on the type of work expected of your position. Most volunteers and staff will only need to access the database to update their personal information or complete their Volunteer Checklist.
