Volunteers needed for the 2016 Gaming Hoopla!

We are in need of and are now accepting volunteers to work various stations at the 2016 Gaming Hoopla. Join the fun and submit your request to volunteer now by filling out the form to the right.
This form only registers your interest in volunteering and is in no way an obligation to volunteer.

Please note that, although we will do everything to accommodate your requests, final volunteer assignments are at the discretion of The Gaming Hoopla staff. Should a discrepancy arise between your wishes and our needs, we will of course contact you for a solution before scheduling you for any shifts.

2015 Volunteer Reimbursement program

Below is information from our 2015 reimbursement program. We are still working on the details for 2016 but they should be comparable to what's below.

The Gaming Hoopla wants to give back to those generous people who volunteer their time to helping make our event a success. Our program is as follows:
  • Those who work 8 or more total hours over the course of the weekend will receive a cash refund equal to the admission costs they paid for entry into The Gaming Hoopla (shifts must be completed and verified by a Gaming Hoopla staff lead)
  • Volunteers will also receive a ticket good fro one free meal at the Hoopla Canteen for every 4 hours they work on a single day at the event (one ticket per each 4 hours)
  • Note - hours spend judging games are independent of and not considered part of this program, as volunteer judging has its own reimbursement program

More volunteering details

The available shifts are 2-hour blocks (on the even hours) on:
Friday, April 24th - 10 am to midnight
Saturday, April 25th - 8 am to midnight
Sunday, April 26th - 8 am to 4 pm
Note - there is not set up or tear down required at our new venue!

The available stations are:  Registration (Front Desk), Merchandise (Hoopla Depot), Kitchen window (Hoopla Canteen, orders & payments) and Miscellaneous (where needed at Staff discretion). Note that not all time and station combinations are valid; some areas have hours that are more limited than others.

In addition, we are looking for volunteers to help at two other locations, in 4-hour blocks:
-- We need 2-3 brave souls to work in the Canteen on Saturday and Sunday mornings from 6-10 am, to help with the Hoopla Breakfast - please let us know if you would like to take on this challenge! (As an added benefit, those who work at the breakfast will get a free breakfast!)
-- We need 3 persons to help with the end of the Silent Auction, from 6-10 pm on Saturday
