PCOC 2011 - Volunteering

by robert.lang
on October 11, 2010 - 9:22pm

The Pacific Coast Origami Conference is organized, staffed and run by volunteers. These volunteers come together from many different origami clubs around the country for the purpose of creating a fun-filled opportunity for folders to get together on the West Coast.

This spirit of sharing and volunteerism makes for a casual yet coordinated event. We’ve taken our experiences from origami conventions around the world and built a unique conference that will give folders of all interest and skills a unique and fun event.

We need volunteers in the following areas:

  • Teachers
  • Dinner Ticket Takers
  • Security
  • Setup/Takedown

Teaching volunteers will be solicited when registration opens. If you would like to volunteer to assist in the organization of PCOC, please fill out the volunteering form.

  • Online registration for volunteering at PCOC is now closed.

If you have any questions or want to do something not listed on the online form, please email us at and tell us your area of interest!
