WHAT IS THE LEGION OF SUPER FANS?
We are a non-profit organization that promotes the advancement and preservation of fan arts.
We organize volunteers to support conventions and festivals that promote fandoms.
We spread awareness of fan arts amongst the general public at local public events with other brands, companies, and charities.
We develop content that educates and informs the public about fandom arts which includes, but is not limited to comic book writers, comic book artists, traditional media artists, graphic design artists, costume artists, filmmakers, independent videogame developers, novelists, scriptwriters, musicians, theatrical performers, photographers, makeup artists, and animators.
WHERE CAN I PARTICIPATE?
The Legion of Super Fans is partnered with GalaxyCon events in Richmond and Raleigh.
SHOULD I BE CONCERNED ABOUT COVID?
We’re all concerned about Covid, and we’ll announce a plan to keep volunteers, special guests, and attendees safe when we are about 3 months out from the events. You are welcome to apply now and decline later. We understand the situation is uncertain.
HOW CAN I HELP?
Join us in a city near you to provide assistance to the attendees and to the superstars of fandoms such as celebrities, writers, artists, cosplayers, panelists, wrestlers, streamers, comedians, performers, and more!
WHAT WILL I GET OUT OF VOLUNTEERING?
Our members and volunteers tell us that they make great friends with similar interests at these events while learning valuable skills and contributing to the geek community.
The events also have perks for participating such as free weekend admission for 10 hours contributed, a free t-shirt, and pizza during shifts.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

OUR VALUES
We are in the happiness business. We support festivals with the purpose of delivering joy, nostalgia, and meaningful human connection.
We work hand in hand with volunteers, employees, agents, talent, exhibitors, panelists, track directors, sidekicks, contractors, venue service people, city officials, hotel service people, and so much more. We are all interconnected, and we thrive when every member understands how they create meaningful experiences for festival attendees and team members.
Our guiding principle is to connect people with similar interests.
We commit to being helpful, to lending a hand when asked or when we can see someone needs help.
We value diversity of backgrounds and perspectives as much as we embrace the diversity of geek interests.
We’re all on the same team.
