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 pcoc-volunteering [at] origamiusa.org and tell us your area of interest!
