Staff

Everything you see and do at Colorado Anime Fest requires a dedicated team of volunteers working together behind the scenes to make it happen. We call the most dedicated of these volunteers “staff,” and they form the foundation of the entire convention. We simply couldn’t exist without them.

Our staff members work hard to help make COAF possible, and we work hard to make sure our staff has a great time during the convention and is appreciated for their efforts. To that end, we offer generous staff perks that are improving every year. They include:

• a free badge to attend the convention;

• a complimentary shared hotel room—or a solo room discount—on Thursday thru Saturday nights; free meals plus snacks and drinks in the Staff Suite;

• free meals plus snacks and drinks in the Staff Suite;

• an invitation to the end-of-con “Dead Dog” party;

• and an exclusive staff T-shirt.

Staff members are required to adhere to all convention guidelines and to work at least 16 hours over the course of the weekend. Prospective staff members must be at least 18 years old before the convention begins on March 21, 2025.

We are always looking for General Staff, in addition we are looking to fill some specialized roles which can be found here: Colorado Anime Fest Open Positions (Last Update: 6/27/25).

Is working 16+ hours too large a commitment? Consider being a volunteer instead. You can work as many or as few hours as you’d like.
