Get Involved

Help make a difference in your anime community!

KuroNekoCon is a 100% volunteer-run event. From the most involved Board of Directors to the day-of volunteers who donate their time to make sure the staff make it through the weekend, no one receives monetary compensation for the time they donate to the convention. It’s people like you who decide they want to step in to make something better that make this convention possible.

No matter how little or how much time you have to dedicate, there’s an opportunity for you to make an impact.
