VOLUNTEER WITH SHRINE

Looking for a great way to make new friends and help out the community?  Have you ever wanted to go to check out Shrine on a discount? You should volunteer! We have positions available every month. Please click below if you wish to volunteer or have questions!

DESK & ONLINE SUPPORT

Support persons will greet guests,  wristbands, and assist the desk staff with whatever they need. Newbies welcome!

TOUR GUIDES

Tour guides are tasked with showing newcomers the venue and briefly introducing them to Shrine’s culture. The only requirement for tours is that we ask veteran volunteers or individuals who have been to Shrine a minimum of 3 times to do tours, simply because it can be difficult to give tours of a place you have not fully experienced.

RUNNERS

As a runner, you will greet guests entering the building and provide them with the appropriate information. No experience is required for this position. Newbies welcome!

EVENT SET UP & TAKE DOWN

These roles require the ability to lift heavy objects. You will be tasked with setting up or removing play stations, moving club furniture, hanging flags, or preparing lighting for the party. Setup starts 2 hours before the event begins. Teardown begins around 30 minutes before the event ends.

DUNGEON MONITORS

To DM for Shrine, you must have current CPR certification, have had DM training/certification (or equivelant experience) and have completed 1 hour of shadowing another DM at Shrine. Please email the Volunteer Director for your city if you need to complete your shadow hour.

How do I get DM certified?

You can take the DM certification course with AMP/AsMP or reach out to either Arnault or Kira of PaW to sign up for the next DM class!

What time do I have to be there for setup?

Setup starts roughly 2 hours before the start of the event the day of Shrine, thus volunteering for setup already starts you off at 2 hours of volunteering.

When does take down start?

Take down usually starts around 30 minutes before close, if all play in that area has stopped. If play has not stopped, take down begins whenever Shrine is set to close. Take down counts for 1 hour of volunteering.

Event Setup, Take Down, Runners, Tour Guides, and DM slots all need to be filled on an hourly basis throughout the night. Please email the Volunteer Director of your city for availability.
